Taking cues from current theoretical perspectives and capitalizing
on the strengths of new and sophisticated methods of analysis,
Breathing New Life into the Evidence of Death showcases the
vibrancy of bioarchaeological research and its potential for
bringing "new life" to the field of mortuary archaeology and the
study of human remains. These new trajectories challenge old
stereotypes, redefine the way research of human remains should be
accomplished, and erase the divide that once separated osteologists
from archaeologists. Through case studies ranging from body
piercing in prehistoric Chile to Christian burials in early
Medieval Ireland, the contributors to this book take a broad and
deep look at themes including archaeologies of identity, the
contemporary sociopolitical effects of bioarchaeological research,
and materiality in the mortuary record.
