I’m not a MD; but I have to believe that the spine and neck disks would take a huge beating, and that the later years of life would be one of agonizing pain.

Unless something else killed them off before reaching old age.

Define “old age” for a 1000AD Chaco Canton laborer.

My guess is they weren’t making it into their forties.
