_Osteoarchaeology: A Guide to the Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal
Remains_ covers the identification of bones and teeth, taphonomy, sex,
ancestry assessment, age estimation, the analysis of biodistances,
growth patterns and activity markers, and paleopathology.
The book aims to familiarize the reader with the main applications of
osteoarchaeology and provide the necessary knowledge required for the
implementation of a broad range of osteological methods. It is ideal
as a complement to existing textbooks used in upper level
undergraduate and graduate courses on osteoarchaeology, human
osteology, and, to some extent, forensic anthropology.
Pedagogical features include ample illustrations, case study material,
revision exercises, and a glossary. Additional features comprise
macros that facilitate data processing and analysis, as well as an
extensive chapter on applied statistics.
