ABSTRACT
A number of techniques are available to analyze and interpret human remains, including the analysis of organic residues such as blood, lipids, proteins, and aDNA, as well as inorganic materials such as isotopes, along with biodistance, radiographic, and scanning (radiography, CT, and MRI) data. These data sets can be employed to investigate a variety of issues, including human evolution; paleobiology, paleogeography, and paleodemography of humans; and human diet, food webs, and subsistence systems.
