This book teaches students and scholars of Greco-Roman medical
history how to use and critically assess archaeological materials.
Ancient medicine is a subject dominated by textual sources, yet
there is a wealth of archaeological remains that can be used to
broaden our understanding of medicine in the past. In order to use
the information properly, this book explains how to ask questions
of an archaeological nature, how to access different types of
archaeological materials, and how to overcome problems the
researcher might face. It also acts as an introduction to the
archaeology of medicine for archaeologists interested in this
aspect of their subject. Although the focus is on the Greco-Roman
period, the methods and theories explained within the text can be
applied to other periods in history. The areas covered include text
as material culture, images, artifacts, spaces of medicine, and
science and archaeology.
