Human remains can answer all sorts of questions about our
ancestors--what sort of diet they ate, what age they lived to, what
sort of living conditions they experienced, and how they died. The
Neolithic is the earliest period from which significant numbers of
human burials survive in Britain. This book looks at the history of
the study of such burials and how new scientific techniques have
massively expanded what we know about our Neolithic ancestors. As
well as the treatment of the dead, issues such as health and
subsistence are considered, along with evidence of conflict and
also the extent to which the people of Neolithic Britain can be
considered a distinct population. This is the only book
specifically dedicated to human remains from the Neolithic and
fills an important gap left by other books on the period.
