Palaeopathology of Children: Identification of Pathological
Conditions in the Human Skeletal Remains of Non-Adults provides
archaeological examples of pathological child remains with varying
degrees of disease manifestation, and where possible, presents
illustrations of individually affected bones to help with
identification. The structure and inclusion of photographs and
summary diagnostic tables make this suitable for use as a textbook.
Each chapter includes a table of international archaeological cases
collated by the author from published and unpublished literature.
Child skeletal remains come in a variety of different sizes, with
bones appearing and fusing at different times during growth.
Identifying pathology in such unfamiliar bones can be a challenge,
and we often rely on photographs of clinical radiographs or intact
anatomical specimens to try and interpret the lesions we see in
archaeological material. These are usually the most extreme
examples of the disease, and do not account for the wide degree of
variation we may see in skeletal remains.
