Abstract

Studying the shoulder joint in a palaeo-osteological context in recent years, I have been struck, like Prescher & Klümpen (1997), by the lack of information about the glenoid notch provided by the standard anatomical texts; indeed equally unexplained is the pear-shape of the glenoid cavity itself.
