Description
The Bioarchaeology of Metabolic Bone Disease provides a comprehensive and invaluable source of information on this important
group of diseases. It is an essential guide for those engaged in either basic recording or in-depth research on human remains from archaeological
sites. The range of potential tools for investigating metabolic diseases of bone are far greater than for many other conditions, and
building on clinical investigations, this book will consider gross, surface features visible using microscopic examination, histological
and radiological features of bone, that can be used to help investigate metabolic bone diseases.
Audience:
A wide range of individuals engaged in the study of physical anthropology, paleopathology, medical history and forensic anthropology.
