Colonized Bodies, Worlds Transformed represents a new generation of
contact and colonialism studies, expanding upon a traditional focus
on the health of conquered peoples toward how extraordinary
biological and political transformations are incorporated into the
human body, reflecting behavior, identity, and adaptation. These
globally diverse case studies demonstrate that the effects of
conquest reach farther than was ever thought before-to both the
colonized and the colonizers. Cultural exchange occurred between
both groups, transforming social identities, foodways, and social
structures at points of contact and beyond. Contributors to this
volume analyze skeletal remains and burial patterns from
never-before-studied regions in the Americas to the Middle East,
Africa, and Europe, resulting in a new synthesis of historical
archaeology and bioarchaeology.
Cultural heritage is a vital, multifaceted component of modern
society. To better protect and promote the integrity of a culture,
certain technologies have become essential tools.The Handbook of
Research on Emerging Technologies for Architectural and
Archaeological Heritage is an authoritative reference source for
the latest scholarly research on the use of technological
assistance for the preservation of architecture and archaeology in
a global context. Focusing on various surveying technologies for
the study, analysis, and protection of historical buildings, this
book is ideally designed for professionals, researchers,
upper-level students, and practitioners.
