A broad understanding of bone and tooth microstructure is necessary
for constructing the biological profile of an individual or
individuals within a population. Bone Histology: An Anthropological
Perspective brings together authors with extensive experience and
expertise in various aspects of hard tissue histology to provide a
comprehensive discussion of the application of methods, current
theories, and future directions in hard tissue research related to
anthropological questions. Topics discussed include: The biology
underlying skeletal growth and development leading to adult
skeletal morphology Current research in understanding in bone
modeling Histological features of dental hard tissues and their
utility in biological anthropology Histological analysis as a means
to differentiate human from nonhuman bone and for the purpose of
age estimation The biomechanics of cortical bone Histotaphonomy and
how postmortem microstructural change can be used for taphonomic
inquiry The application of light microscopy in paleopathology to
classify pathological conditions The histological study of bone
tissue of archaeological origin Researchers' access to collections
of bone samples with known demographic information Technological
aspects of hard tissue histology, including laboratory requirements
and high-resolution imaging In most cases, the physical remains of
humans available to bioarchaeologists, paleopathologists, and
paleontologists are limited to skeletal material. Fortunately,
these hard tissues are a storehouse of information about biological
processes experienced during the life of an individual. This volume
provides an overview of the current state of research and potential
applications in anthropology and other fields that employ a
histological approach to the study of hard tissues.
