Praise for earlier editions "This book is recommended as a good reference source which will provide both historical background and cultural data on disease. It will be most valuable to the person who seeks information about diseases past, their virulence, and their effect upon a population. As new techniques come into being, they can be adapted to the investigation of old bones and bodies."Journal of the American Medical Association "Well structured, clearly written, and extremely accurate from both a historical and scientific point of view."The Lancet "A concise, informative, and very readable introduction to the field of paleopathology."Journal of the History of Medicine The Archaeology of Disease shows how the latest scientific and archaeological techniques can be used to identify the common illnesses and injuries from which humans suffered in the past. Charlotte Roberts and Keith Manchester study evidence gleaned from written records and works of art as well as from ancient human remains. They combine a clinical interpretation of prevalent diseases with a graphic description of their social, economic, and cultural consequences. This fully revised third edition includes 90 black-and-white illustrations and has been updated to encompass the rapidly developing research methods of a fascinating field.
