The Human Skeletal Anatomy: Laboratory Manual and Workbook has been designed to help students who are enrolled in courses dedicated to this topic. It is the product of many years of designing and instructing a Human Skeletal Biology course for undergraduate students. The key to this manual is flexibility. Instructors may utilize as much or as little of the manual as they see fit. It is largely based on the regional approach to anatomy. However, the first section of the manual begins with a survey of the microscopic and macroscopic structure of bone. After grounding the student in the basics of

Que ce soit au sein de contextes archéologiques ou judiciaires, des restes humains sont régulièrement découverts dans des espaces réservés aux déchets. Ces situations ne témoignent pas seulement d’un simple abandon, mais semblent aussi liées à une volonté d’assimiler le corps mort à un détritus et de le déshumaniser. Mais est-ce toujours et partout le cas ? Comment, par qui et pourquoi certains individus sont-ils délibérément jetés après leur mort dans des dépotoirs ou des décharges ? Qui sont-ils ? Les douze chapitres de ce volume couvrent plus de 3 000 siècles d’histoire et plusieurs continents. Ils permettent d’aborder pour la première fois ces questions de façon comparative et à large échelle. Les contributions émanant d’archéologues, d’anthropologues, de sociologues et d’historiens nous révèlent l’ancienneté de l’association entre des restes humains et des espaces détritiques, tout autant que ses diverses modalités. Des cadavres dans nos poubelle montre ainsi que la violence symbolique portée au corps mort fait souvent suite à des violences physiques subies par le corps de son vivant. L’ouvrage interroge au final le statut du cadavre, tout autant que les logiques qui président à sa disqualification en déchet.

"Now including numerous full colour figures, this updated and revised edition of Larsen's classic text provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of bioarchaeology. Reflecting the enormous advances made in the field over the past twenty years, the author examines how this discipline has matured and evolved in fundamental ways. Jargon free and richly illustrated, the text is accompanied by copious case studies and references to underscore the central role that human remains play in the interpretation of life events and conditions of past and modern cultures. From the origins and spread of infectious disease to the consequences of decisions made by humans with regard to the kinds of foods produced, and their nutritional, health and behavioral outcomes. With local, regional, and global perspectives, this up-to-date text provides a solid foundation for all those working in the field"--

"Bioarchaeology covers the history and general theory of the field plus the recovery and laboratory treatment of human remains. Bioarchaeology is the study of human remains in context from an archaeological and anthropological perspective. The book explores, through numerous case studies, how a society deals with their dead can reveal a great deal about that society, including religion, political, economic, and social organizations. It details recovery methods and how, once recovered, human remains can be analysed to reveal details about the funerary system of the subject society and inform on a variety of other issues, such as health, demography, disease, workloads, mobility, sex and gender, and migration. Finally, the book highlights how bioarchaeological techniques can be used in contemporary forensic settings and in the investigations of genocide and war crimes. In Bioarchaeology, theories, principles and scientific techniques are laid out in a clear, understandable way and students of archaeology at undergraduate and graduate levels will find this an excellent guide to the field."--
