This study discusses the use of staves and techniques of the body on thoroughfares in the late modern period.The study’s findings can be summarized as follows :1. For a male traveler, a cane did not serve as a walking aid. For a female traveler, a cane represented awalking aid or a fashion accessory.2. People engaged in the transport of goods on roads (express messengers, palanquin bearers, street vendors)all used staves or poles to carry a load on one shoulder while running or walking. This body technique ledto less fatigue when transporting a load.3. When people using thoroughfares stopped to rest, they used staves to support themselves and their baggage.
