While mortuary ruins have long fascinated archaeologists and art
historians interested in the cultures of the Near East and eastern
Mediterranean, the human skeletal remains contained in the tombs of
this region have garnered less attention. In Bioarchaeology and
Behavior, Megan Perry presents a collection of essays that aim a
spotlight on the investigation of the ancient inhabitants of the
circum-Mediterranean area. Composed of eight diverse papers, this
volume synthesizes recent research on human skeletal remains and
their archaeological and historical contexts in this region.
Utilizing an environmental, social, and political framework, the
contributors present scholarly case studies on such topics as the
region's mortuary archaeology, genetic investigations of migration
patterns, and the ancient populations' health, disease, and diet.
Other key anthropological issues addressed in this volume include
the effects of the domestication of plants and animals, the rise of
state-level formations, and the role of religion in society.
Ultimately, this collection will provide anthropologists,
archaeologists, and bioarchaeologists with an important foundation
for future research in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean.
