Jeff,

I would recomend the Shanidar book and pos. the trauma paper. You could also
try:

Oleksiak, D.A. (1989) The estimation of body weight for Neanderthals and early
modern humans. American Journal of Physical Anthropology. 69 (?). 248.

Sorry for the big long list (and I know most, if not all, might not be relevant) but I
have none of the papers to hand. I'll see if I can't find something more specific
in a couple of days. If you want to discuss this further you know where I am.

Later,
Dan
