The book provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive guide to the main methods and techniques that are currently available for studying diseases and related conditions from human skeletal remains. It also describes the ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health and disease in the past. The first part of the book deals with the survival of palaeopathological evidence and provides an up-to-date account of some o 606 $aPaleopathology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPaleopathology. 676 $a616.07 701 $aPinhasi$b Ron$0971797 701 $aMays$b Simon$0459281 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144580403321 996 $aAdvances in human palaeopathology$92209501 997 $aUNINA
