This is the first book entirely devoted to the study of children's skeletons from archaeological and forensic contexts. It outlines the methods used to age and sex their remains and covers issues such as infanticide, physical abuse, trauma, diet and disease. It provides an extensive review of the current analytical methods used in the analysis of child skeletal remains, which is backed up with numerous tables including available skeletal collections, modern dental development and modern growth data, and lots of diagrams and diagnostic criteria for diagnosing diseases on non-adult skeletons.
