Beskrivning
Physical anthropology, the study of human skeletal remains, has assumed an increasingly important role in the archaeology of Greece over the past 30 years, both in the field and in interpretive research. In addition to including stimulating case studies, ranging in date from the Palaeolithic to modern periods, the 17 chapters in this book provide an overview of bioarchaeological research across Greece and Cyprus. The volume is the first in a series of monographs from the Wiener Laboratory at the ASCSA that demonstrates the impact of archaeological science on Mediterranean archaeology.

Recensioner i media

The papers [in this volume] serve to exemplify the compelling skeletal biological questions addressed in bioarchaeology in Greece today and prospects for the future. Chapter authors represent a broad range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, bioarchaeology, medicine, dentistry, genetics, chemistry, and paleoanthropology. [...] Although the focus is Greece, this volume also provides useful exemplars of bioarchaeological research in general. Given its impact on modern culture and philsophy, this window in the life and times of Greek populations provided through the lends of bioarchaeological research should be of interest to scholars in a broad range of disciplines and academic levels. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' -- Choice Choice ...this is a collection of highly interesting papers that offers invaluable insight into a diversity of current research themes on past human populations in Greece. The volume will undoubtedly be an important source of information and inspiration for researchers into skeletal biology and other neighboring fields. Its reading is also strongly recommended for archaeologists and historians - especially those who are still unfamiliar with the ever-increasing research potential offered by skeletal remains.' -- AJA Online Book Reviews AJA Online Book Reviews
