New Directions in the Skeletal Biology of Ancient Greece

This book consists of 20 chapters on the skeletal biology of a range of subject areas focused on Greece with dates from the Palaeolithic to modern times. There is a burgeoning amount of skeletal biological research on Greek skeletal remains that is currently being published in the scientific literature, and the increased use of novel techniques of analysis such as ancient DNA is shedding new light on many aspects of human society. As well as presenting a number of case studies, the editors provide synthetic surveys of the subject area.
