Atlas of Human Cranial Macromorphoscopic Traits synthesizes macromorphoscopic traits and their analysis in an accessible manner, providing detailed descriptions and examples of the various character state manifestations intended for use in classrooms, laboratories, and in the field. The volume begins with an outline of the macromorphoscopic dataset, its history, recent modifications to the historical approach, and recent technological and analytical advances. Additional sections cover Nomenclature, Gross Anatomy, Function, Methodology, Line Drawings, Detailed Definitions, Multiple High-resolution Photographs, and Population Variation Data from the Macromorphoscopic Databank (MaMD). The volume concludes with a chapter outlining the statistical analysis of macromorphoscopic data and a summary of the computer programs and reference databases available to forensic anthropologists for the analysis of these data.

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this work presents an integration of osteological and historical evidence to examine the detrimental impact of the workhouse on inmates in nineteenth-century London and to assess whether the 1834 change to the English Poor Laws led to deterioration in health. Due to the new legalities of the New Poor Laws, reformers sought to create a nationalised system of welfare, which culminated in the establishment of the Union workhouse. All aspects of daily life were influenced within the institution, in an attempt to instil the 'virtues of the independent labourer'. It is hypothesised that the effects of the New Poor law would have exposed inmates to episodes of dietary deficiencies and infectious disease, detectable in the osteological record. This was investigated utilising published osteological data for five Post-Medieval London cemeteries and four associated historical registers of burials.

Les vestiges anthropobiologies mis au jour en contexte archéologique ont une place singulière parmi les éléments du patrimoine archéologique. Ils génèrent des questionnements éthiques et scientifiques qui éludent souvent l’intérêt patrimonial. La richesse des réflexions autour des vestiges anthropobiologiques rapportées ici montre la volonté d’appréhender leur aspect archéologique, anthropologique, éthique, juridique voire social dont l’importance est grandissante. Après avoir souligné leur valeur heuristique universelle, le livre s’articule autour de 4 axes. Le premier renseigne la diversité de cette mémoire unique et sensible, relique biologique du passé et support d’une construction sociale via le rituel funéraire. Le deuxième livre des questionnements autour du statut de ces restes au prisme du régime juridique des vestiges humains patrimonialisés. Un troisième concerne la conservation et la valorisation des vestiges anthropobiologiques. Le dernier rend compte des approches réglementaires hors des frontières hexagonales. A la lecture de cet ouvrage, il apparaît que les ensembles ostéo-archéologiques, ne sont plus déconnectés des questionnements sociétaux ni même dissociés d’un souvenir collectif ou d’une forme de mémoire universelle. Ils contribuent à l’histoire commune, depuis l’échelle régionale jusqu’à celle de l’espèce. In fine le livre cherche à définir davantage ce que sera le "vestige anthropobiologique patrimonialisé" de demain (4e de couverture)

This classic in forensic anthropology has been thoroughly updated and greatly expanded for the new Third Edition. The result presents the state of the medicolegal art of investigating human skeletal remains. The third edition follows more than 25 years after the second edition. During this time, considerable changes occurred in the field and Forensic Anthropology became a distinct specialty in its own right. Included in the book are detailed discussions on crime scene investigation, including excavation techniques, time interval since death, human or animal remains, mass graves, and preparatio
