Anthropologists, forensicspecialists, palaeontologists and palaeopathologists have to deal with the unique problems associated with the investigation of mineralised tissues which have been buried in different soil environments for a long time. A summary of the appropriate methods of investigation of species, determination of age at death and the diagnosisof pathology is presented. Although the contributions mainly focus on light microscoy, more advanced methods such as histomorphometry and microradiography are also discussed in detail.
