Bioarchaeology: The Contextual Analysis of Human Remains (Bioarchaeology)
Pre-publication quotes:Brenda Baker (Arizona State U):  "Because bioarchaeology crosses subdiscipline boundaries, the book should appeal to a wide range of anthropologists.  It would be useful in any anthropological history course and in biorachaeology courses at the graduate level."Kent Buehler (U Oklahoma):  "This is a book whose time has come....The list of authors reads like a 'who's who' of American bioarchaeology.  Some of them are the direct descendents of the founding figures of the discipline in this country....I believe that this book will be quite valuable for both research and teaching and will serve as a major reference for many years to come."Christopher Knuesel (U Bradford):  "... I think it will appeal to many in anthropology, archaeology, and the history and philosophy of science.  It is a testament to the coming of age of the biological anthropology sub-discipline and also begins to make a claim to realising a body of theory that should more firmly link this sub-discipline to archaeology."Lee Meadows Jantz (U Tennessee):  "I believe that Buikstra and Beck are offering a valuable contribution to our field...If I have the opportunity to teach a course in 'history of physical anthropology,' I would certainly consider this as a text."Holger Schutkowski (U Bradford):  "The concept of bioarchaeology is powerful and its impact, in whatever guise, on the interpretation of human skeletal remains cannot be underestimated.  Given the importance of anthropology as a subject in North American scholarship, in particular the fruitful adherence to a four- (sometimes only three-) field approach, for which many envy the american academic landscape, the attempt to propose an edited volume on an approach to the history of bioarchaeology is welcome and justified. ...The volume has the potential to become a point of reference for some time to come."
