The study of human diet brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds ranging from modern human nutrition and biochemistry to the geochemistry of fossilized bones and teeth. The contributions to this volume grow out of the Fourth Advanced Seminar on Paleodiet and provide a forum for scholars with common interests to discuss the latest advances and interpretations and chart future directions for paleodietry research.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
`This edited volume makes several significant contributions to the area of paleodietary studies through bio-geographical techniques and is a "must have" for individuals who study paleodiet. ' American Antiquity, 67:1 (2002) '[...] this book is a welcome addition to the growing corpus of edited volumes on the subject. [..]collected here are solid, timely contributions by experts in the field. It is therefore highly recommended to students of paleodiet and bone chemistry and absolutely to any library worth its salt.' Journal of Anthropological Research 58, (2002)

First Sentence:
Most paleodiet studies based on bone chemistry have been directed toward one of two approaches: reconstructing the diet of prehistoric peoples (reviewed by Katzenberg 1992; Pate 1994; Schoeninger and Moore 1992; Schwarcz and Schoeninger 1991), or carrying out experiments on laboratory or free-ranging animals, to determine how diet leaves a chemical signature in human tissues that might be preserved in the archaeological record (Ambrose and Norr 1993; Tieszen and Fagre 1993; Lambert and Weydert-Homeyer 1993a, 1993b).
