Theoretical Approaches in Bioarchaeology
Material type: TextPublication details: New York Routledge 2021Description: 210 pISBN: 9780367205720; 9780367205737Subject(s): Human remains (Archaeology) | Archaeology | Social archaeology | PaleoanthropologyDDC classification: 930.1 Summary: "Theoretical Approaches in Bioarchaeology emphasizes how several different theoretical perspectives can be used to reconstruct the biocultural experiences of humans in the past. Over the past few decades, bioarchaeology has been transformed through methodological revisions, technological advances, and the inclusion of external theoretical frameworks from the social and natural sciences. These interdisciplinary perspectives became the backbone of bioarchaeology and strengthened the discipline's ability to address questions about past biological and social dynamics. Consequently, how, why, and when to apply external theory to studies of past populations are central and timely questions tied to future developments of the discipline. This book facilitates ongoing dialogues about theoretical applications within the field and interdisciplinary connections between bioarchaeology, biological anthropology, and other disciplines. Each chapter highlights how a theoretical framework originating from a social or natural science connects to past and future bioarchaeological research. For scholars and archaeologists interested in the theoretical applications of bioarchaeology, this book will be an excellent resource"--Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
