With one million dead, and just as many forced to emigrate, the
Irish Famine (1845-52) is among the worst health calamities in
history. In 2006, archaeologists discovered a mass burial
containing the remains of nearly 1,000 Kilkenny Union workhouse
inmates. In the first bioarchaeological study of Great Famine
victims, Jonny Geber uses skeletal analysis to tell the story of
how and why the Irish Famine decimated the lowest levels of
nineteenth century society. By examining the physical conditions of
the inmates that might have contributed to their
institutionalization, as well as to the resulting health
consequences, Geber sheds new and unprecedented light on Ireland's
Great Hunger.
