This volume explores the possibilities of studying embodied
subjects in the past through the sources and approaches of
archaeology, history and material culture studies. It draws on
collections of human remains, material culture and documentary
evidence from Britain during the period 1700–1850, considering
the themes of gender, rank, age, disability and maternity. Each
chapter looks at the lived experiences of the material body,
bringing together disciplines that share an interest in the
material or embodied turn. Combining archaeological and historical
data to reconstruct embodied experiences, the volume represents the
first collection of genuinely collaborative scholarship by
historians and archaeologists. -- .
