Encountering evidence of postmortem examinations - dissection or
autopsy in historic skeletal collections is relatively rare, but
recently there has been an increase in the number of reported
instances. And much of what has been evaluated has been largely
descriptive and historical. The Bioarchaeology of Dissection and
Autopsy brings together in a single volume the skeletal evidence of
postmortem examination in the United States. Ranging from the early
colonial period to the early 1900's, from a coffeehouse at Colonial
Williamsburg to a Quaker burial vault in lower Manhattan, the
contributions to this volume demonstrate the interpretive
significance of a historically and theoretically contextualized
bioarchaeology. The authors employ a wide range of perspectives,
demonstrating how bioarchaeological evidence can be used to address
a wide range of themes including social identity and
marginalization, racialization, the nature of the body and
fragmentation, and the emergence of medical practice and authority
in the United States.
