About this product
Product Information
Human remains recovered from archaeological sites can help us interpret lifetime events such as disease, physiological stress, injury and violent death, physical activity, tooth use, diet, and demographic history of once-living populations. This is the first comprehensive synthesis of the emerging field of bioarchaeology. A central theme is the interaction between biology and behavior, underscoring the dynamic nature of skeletal and dental tissues, and the influences of environment and culture on human biological variation. It emphasizes research results and their interpretation, covering palaeopathology, physiological stress, skeletal and dental growth and structure, and the processes of aging and biodistance. It will be a unique resource for students and researchers interested in biological and physical anthropology or archaeology.

Reviews
‘Bioarchaeology is a valuable addition to the Cambridge Studies in Biological Anthropology series. This book presents a refreshing and positive view of the value of skeletal and dental research. Bioarchaeology provides a comprehensive reference resource for biological anthropologists, archaeologists and a wide audience concerned with the biology and behaviour of our ancestors.’C. A. Marlow, Annals of Human Biology, ‘All those who study skeletal remains with the aim of reconstruction modes and conditions of living in historical human communities will gain a lot from this extremely useful and inspiring book …’.H. Schutkowski, Referate, 'All those who study skeletal remains with the aim of reconstruction modes and conditions of living in historical human communities will gain a lot from this extremely useful and inspiring book ...'.H. Schutkowski, Referate, 'All those who study skeletal remains with the aim of reconstruction modes and conditions of living in historical human communities will gain a lot from this extremely useful and inspiring book ...'. H. Schutkowski, Referate, "...informative, educational, and well-written synthesis of current information in the field of bioarchaeology. This volume, which represents to my knowledge one of the only comprehensive syntheses of bioarcheaological methods, techniques, and theory, will be useful both as a standard reference for professionals and as a textbook in advanced courses in bioarchaeology and the interpretation of human skeletal remains...this work is a valuable addition to the libraries of skeletal biologists, archaeologists and bioarchaeologists, paleopathologists, and others interested in studying human remains from archaeological contexts with a bio-cultural perspective. Students will find the text relatively easy to read and comprehend, and will appreciate the emphasis on case studies in understanding the techniques, methods, and theories. Professionals will appreciate the extensive literature reviews Larsen incorporates into the text." -Elizabeth Miller, Society for Archaeological Sciences, 'Bioarchaeology is a valuable addition to the Cambridge Studies in Biological Anthropology series.
