Human Osteology: A Laboratory and Field Manual

By William M. Bass

This manual is directed specifically to workers in the field, presenting the necessary information for the identification and analysis of the bones of the human skeleton. It gives a basic anatomy of the bones, major anatomical landmarks, criteria for determining right or left side of paired bones, basic anthropometric measurements, and indices and comparative data. Includes an introduction to the subject, and a guide to identifying subadult material. The manual presents each bone separately, along with information on its growth, age, sex, and measurements, and is divided into 3 sections: the skull; the postcranial skeleton; human dentition. 327p, 190 figs, 54 tbs (Missouri Archaeological Society 1971, 3rd edn 1992, 4th edn 1995, 5th edn 2005)
