Bodies and Lives

The Bodies and Lives series presents targeted treatments of bioarchaeological, archaeological, and anthropological topics. Individual volumes focus on specific time periods and/or geographic regions and present contextualized skeletal data in order to explore issues of lived experience in the past. There are lessons to be learned from the bodies and lives of those that came before us; this series tackles those lessons in an approachable short-form format designed to provide introductions to not only the specific topics but also to how rich interpretation can be with the inclusion of skeletal data.
