This book is 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 insights for graduates and postgraduates in osteology,
palaeopathology and forensic anthropology.
