Theory and Practice in the Bioarchaeology of Care

More about the book

Focusing on the innovative concept of the 'bioarchaeology of care', this book offers a thorough introduction to its theory and practical application in understanding prehistoric caregiving. It outlines a four-stage analytical methodology that builds upon previous stages, serving as a comprehensive guide for implementation. By exploring foundational principles and presenting three in-depth case studies, the book reveals insights into past identities and lifestyles that would likely remain hidden without this analytical framework.
