Many diseases leave characteristic lesions on human bone, tooth or soft tissue which can be identified many years after death. This comprehensive 1998 volume allows paleopathologists, anthropologists, archeologists, demographers and physicians to identify and interpret disease in ancient human remains.

Críticas:

Review of the hardback: 'Far more than a laboratory manual for the practising palaeopathologist, it effectively combines the subject with perspectives from archaeology, demography and historical epidemiology. It exemplifies the potential of such integration for understanding the health dynamics and ecology of past communities and it will undoubtedly be the subject's standard reference for many years to come.' Alan Bilsborough, The Times Higher Education Supplement

Review of the hardback: 'All human life, death and disease is here, meticulously described and remorselessly illustrated in forensic detail. This is an indispensable guide to the downside of being human.' New Scientist
