This book is the first to be entirely devoted to the study of
children's skeletons from archaeological and forensic contexts. It
provides an extensive review of the osteological methods and
theoretical concepts of their analysis. Non-adult skeletons provide
a wealth of information on the physical and social life of the
child from their growth, diet and age at death, to factors that
expose them to trauma and disease at different stages of their
lives. This book covers the factors that affect non-adult skeletal
preservation; the assessment of their age, sex and ancestry; growth
and development; infant and child mortality including infanticide;
weaning ages and disease of dietary deficiency; skeletal pathology;
personal identification and exposure to trauma from birth injuries,
accidents and child abuse; providing new insights for graduates and
postgraduates in osteology, palaeopathology and forensic
anthropology.
