Description - The Archaeology of Disease by Charlotte A. Roberts
This text illustrates how the techniques of palaeopathology and archaeology are used to identify injury and disease patterns in past human populations. The authors employ a biocultural approach, stressing the importance of using both the physical evidence, which is obvious, and the cultural proof, which is often less clear, in a multidisciplinary approach to diseases in people who lived in the past. The book is intended as a reference source to provide historical background and cultural data on disease and the history of medicine in antiquity.
