The Archaeology of Human Bones provides an up to date account of
the analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites,
introducing students to the anatomy of bones and teeth and the
nature of the burial record. Drawing from studies around the world,
this book illustrates how the scientific study of human remains can
shed light upon important archaeological and historical questions.
This new edition reflects the latest developments in scientific
techniques and their application to burial archaeology. Current
scientific methods are explained, alongside a critical
consideration of their strengths and weaknesses. The book has also
been thoroughly revised to reflect changes in the ways in which
scientific studies of human remains have influenced our
understanding of the past, and has been updated to reflect
developments in ethical debates that surround the treatment of
human remains. There is now a separate chapter devoted to
archaeological fieldwork on burial grounds, and the chapters on DNA
and ethics have been completely rewritten. This edition of The
Archaeology of Human Bones provides not only a more up to date but
also a more comprehensive overview of this crucial area of
archaeology. Written in a clear style with technical jargon kept to
a minimum, it continues to be a key work for archaeology students.
