Bioarchaeology, an ever-growing dynamic research field, is the study of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites to aid in reconstructing the biology and culture of past populations. Bioarchaeology has gained in popularity around the world and we have a renaissance of anthropological studies coming from both Western and Eastern Europe. North and South American anthropologists continue to make significant contributions to the field of bioarchaeology as well. The emphasis is on helping students understand the most current research coming from both the New and Old World published in the top peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, this book provides a brief history of bioarchaeology, a review of bone biology, and helpful introduction and summary sections at the beginning and end of each chapter. To assist students in studying and to provide discussion points, a list of key terms and chapter questions are provided at the end of each chapter. Finally, there are over 40 illustrations, photos, and graphs to help students grasp key concepts throughout the book. 606 $aHuman remains (Archaeology) 606 $aHuman biology 606 $aHuman remains (Archaeology)$xAnalysis 606 $aBones$xAnalysis 606 $aHuman skeleton$xAnalysis 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aSocial ecology 606 $aPaleopathology 615 0$aHuman remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aHuman biology. 615 0$aHuman remains (Archaeology)$xAnalysis. 615 0$aBones$xAnalysis. 615 0$aHuman skeleton$xAnalysis. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aSocial ecology. 615 0$aPaleopathology. 676 $a930.1 700 $aWeiss$b Elizabeth$01862416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954839803321 996 $aBioarchaeological science$94470546 997 $aUNINA
