New Directions in the Skeletal Biology of Greece

The papers in this book reflect current studies in the field of bioarchaeology in Greece, with material ranging in date from the Palaeolithic to modern times. This volume shows how scientific approaches to the past are shedding new light on previously insoluble questions; as a result, Biological anthropologists working in the Mediterranean region can draw on a wealth of archaeological and documentary evidence to inform their hypotheses. In addition to presenting a number of case studies, the editors provide a synthetic survey of the subject.

Summary

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.
