Human Bones and Archeology

Description

Author: Ubelaker, Douglas H.

Publisher: U.S. Department of the Interior, Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service

Pub Date: 1980

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair to Good.  Stapled binding tight.  No marks, tears.  Lower front cover corner has approx. 1/8″ fold that extends through whole booklet.  Spine edge worn.  Some scuffing to covers.

Notes: Cultural Resource Management Studies, HCRS Publication 43.  A very basic introduction to what skeletal remains mean for archaeology and archaeologists, how attributes–height, sex, disease, age at death–are determined (again, very basic introduction), and then some analysis of a few sites (Maryland, Ecuador, Illinois).  This was probably done as a publication for museum shops, or perhaps as a basic archaeology text supplement.  Short–only 30 pages–but no dumbing down here.  Scarce.
