Human Osteology: In Archaeology and Forensic Science

by Margaret Cox and Simon Mays

Intended as an advanced textbook, this comprehensive and clearly presented volume is divided into six sections: juvenile, health, growth and development; palaeodemography; disease in the past; human variation; assaults on the skeleton; microscopic, biochemical and analytical approaches. The 29 chapters, each written by a specialist in their field, provide an authoritative overview of the current status of human osteology and illustrate the theoretical and scientific potential of the subject whilst also urging the importance of further methodological research.
