Theorizing Bioarchaeology

More about the book

The book explores the integration of critical social theories into bioarchaeology, moving beyond traditional Darwinian and biocultural frameworks. It emphasizes concepts such as habitus, intersectionality, and necropolitics, revealing how these ideas can enhance understanding of various aspects of past societies, including health, gender, and violence. Additionally, it aims to promote ethical practices and support the decolonization of the field, ultimately enriching the study of human remains and cultural contexts.
