In Skeleton Keys: An Introduction to Human Skeletal Morphology,
Development, and Analysis, Second Edition, Jeffrey H. Schwartz
presents a detailed yet highly accessible introduction to the study
of the human skeleton. This unique volume examines the skeleton
from its developmental basis to the expression of individual
variation. It reviews a variety of different approaches used to
determine an individual's sex, age, and pathological history and
challenges readers to think critically about how to analyze a human
skeleton rather than learning formulas for quick results. An ideal
text for courses in human osteology, skeletal analysis, and
bioarchaeology, this book is also a helpful reference for
professionals.
Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Skeleton
Keys features:
* A unique CD-ROM containing hundreds of color images of skeletons
and skeletal elements--demonstrating morphology, pathology, and
nonmetric variation--that can be used as classroom projections or
for individual study
* Coverage of the most recent developments in the field, including
the molecular regulation of bone and tooth formation
* Expanded studies in each area of analysis: sex, age, nonmetric
variation, pathology, biodistance and bioarchaeology, and stable
isotope analysis
* Additional photographic images, especially in the pathology and
sexing chapters
* Two separate and extensively illustrated chapters on the skull,
one dealing with articulated elements and one with isolated bones
(these topics were covered in one chapter in the first
edition)
* Integration of material--such as anthropometric landmarks--from
appendices in the previous edition into relevant chapters
astables
* More accessible language throughout and an extensive glossary
