The book provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive guide to the main methods and techniques that are currently available for studying diseases and related conditions from human skeletal remains. It also describes the ways in which these methods can be applied to the reconstruction of health and disease in the past.  \u003cp\u003eThe first part of the book deals with the survival of palaeopathological evidence and provides an up-to-date account of some of the latest techniques for studying disease in ancient remains. These include imaging techniques, such as radiography and CT scanning, and biochemical and histological analyses. Part two discusses the diagnosis and interpretation of particular classes of disease. The emphasis here is on what can be learnt by taking a biocultural or holistic approach to the study of disease frequencies at a population level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines theoretical, methodological and diagnostic aspects with key biocultural approaches.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes overviews of the latest applicable techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry, histopathology and medical imaging.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by an international team of experts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an invaluable resource for biological anthropologists and archaeologists who study health and disease in past populations.
