The Archaeology of Human Bones is a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites. It introduces students to the anatomy of bones and teeth, as well as the nature of the burial record. Drawing from studies conducted worldwide, the book illustrates how the scientific study of human remains can shed light on important archaeological and historical questions.
The new edition of this book reflects the latest developments in scientific techniques and their application to burial archaeology. Current scientific methods are explained in detail, 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 surrounding the treatment of human remains.
A separate chapter has been devoted to archaeological fieldwork on burial, 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 and accessible style, with technical jargon kept to a minimum, it continues to be a key work for archaeology students.
