Well-written and intelligible book on the archaeology of disease.
Good discussions both of manifestations of disease in individual
skeletal remains, and in populations. Mostly oriented towards
disease per se, but there's a good chapter on trauma, as well.
Especially good coverage of dental disease. Oriented towards an
academic, rather than towards a lay, audience, but I found it
very readable nonetheless.

This book is totally well done for students in bioarcheology!
I received it in perfect condition, fast enough to be able to bring it in my course from the begining of the semester!

Thanks

The book The Archeology of Disease is a good text to have in the study of paleopathology. It is not the only one, but it is a good one because the explanation of scientific practice in paleopathology is easy to understand.
