Ancient medicine is a subject dominated by textual sources, yet there is a wealth of archaeological remains that can be used to broaden our understanding of medicine in the past. In order to use the information properly, this book explains how to ask questions of an archaeological nature, how to access different types of archaeological materials, and how to overcome problems the researcher might face. It also acts as an introduction to the archaeology of medicine for archaeologists interested in this aspect of their subject. Although the focus is on the Greco-Roman period, the methods and theories explained within the text can be applied to other periods in history. The areas covered include text as material culture, images, artifacts, spaces of medicine, and science and archaeology.Medicine, Greek and RomanHistoryMedical archaeologyMedicine, AncientMedicine, Greek and RomanHistory.Medical archaeology.Medicine, Ancient.610.938Baker Patricia Anne1689943UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910822027103321The archaeology of medicine in the Greco-Roman world4065349UNINA
