The Nazlet Khater 2 (NK 2) skeleton, discovered in 1980 in Egypt, constitutes the oldest early Upper Palaeolithic modern human remains from North Africa. The association of this individual with the mining site of Nazlet Khater 4 (NK 4) provides a unique opportunity to understand the arthritis and enthesopathy lesions of this individual within a well-defined archaeological context. After elimination of the most frequent causes of enthesopathy and osteoarthritis, it appears that the many lesions seen on NK 2 are evidence of an arduous life style during which this individual was submitted to heavy mechanical stresses. The characterisation of specific movements or activities based on the complex pattern of lesions on NK 2 seems to us uncertain. However, it is possible to discuss the relationship between bone remodelling and mining activity on the basis of the archaeological context of Nazlet Khater 4 and previous work on samples from mining populations
