Every year hundreds of human skeletal remains are brought to the
surface by engineering works, quarrying or planned archaeological
exploration. These remains provide vital clues to unraveling man's
antiquity their position and location, relation to other remains,
state of preservation and "medical" condition all provide important
information on ancient man and his living environment. Inferences
regarding length of life, nutritional standards, diseases and
origin of injuries can all be made in bones that are thousands of
years old. However, many of these features are open to
interpretation and the information gained is only as good as the
records and analysis made at that time. The purpose of this book is
to describe the many techniques now available for the proper
excavation, preparation and analysis of human skeletal remains, so
that the most effective use can be made of them. As such it will
prove invaluable to both amateur and professional archaeologists,
students of anthropology and anatomy, and the layman who has an
interest in this ancestors' modus vivendi."
