Keywords:

The study of human skeletal remains is an integral part of archaeological research and provides insights to past demography, mobility, health and disease, activity patterns, and other aspects of life. Osteoarchaeology: A Guide to the Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal Remains covers the identification of bones and teeth, taphonomy, sex and ancestry assessment, age estimation, the analysis of biodistances, growth patterns and activity markers, as well as palaeopathology. The aim of this text is to familiarize the reader with the main applications of osteoarchaeology and provide the necessary knowledge required for the implementation of a broad range of osteological methods.

Osteoarchaeology: A Guide to the Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal Remains is also suitable for Bioarchaeologists, osteoarchaeologists and forensic anthropologists. Pedagogical features include ample illustrations, case study material, revision exercises, and a glossary. Additional features comprise macros that facilitate data processing and analysis, as well as an extensive chapter on applied statistics.

  • Includes coverage of nearly every aspect of human osteological macroscopic analysis
  • Detailed descriptions of the application of different methods used
  • Online resources include: Macros designed by the author for a) the calculation of the number of individuals in commingled assemblages, b) processing cranial landmarks and nonmetric traits, c) the calculation of biodistances and their statistical significance, d) the estimation of stature and body mass, e) the creation of artificial datasets for further practice or research, and f) statistical analysis
  • Detailed manual for the online macros
  • Glossary
  • Sample data
  • Review exercises

Dr Efthymia Nikita is an Assistant Professor at the Science and Technology in Archaeology Research Center, The Cyprus Institute, in Nicosia. She is a bioarchaeologist with an undergraduate degree in Archaeology (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and a PhD in Biological Anthropology (University of Cambridge). Her research aligns with biocultural approaches and seeks to provide insights into the activity, mobility, demography, health, and diet of past populations using macroscopic and microanalytical methods. Geographically, her projects span North Africa, Greece, and the United Kingdom, while, temporally, they cover prehistoric to medieval times. In addition, she is engaged in refining the available osteoarchaeological methodology by evaluating current methods and suggesting new approaches in the study of commingled remains, biodistances, and activity markers. Her research has received funding from European and American foundations and has resulted in more than 40 articles and book chapters.
