  3. Cambridge Texts in Human Bioarchaeology and Osteoarchaeology

The Cambridge Texts in Human Bioarchaeology and Osteoarchaeology Series provides practical guides for courses in bioarchaeology and related fields across the world. Aimed primarily at Masters level students, these titles will also appeal to undergraduate students, field archaeologists, and academics who wish to learn more about topics outside their own area of expertise. These concise and affordable texts will provide more in-depth coverage of all the core topics in bioarchaeology and those which most capture students' imaginations. Each book will be supported by online material such as videos, 3D rotating images, and quizzes that will encourage a sound understanding and will stimulate students to explore each topic further. The series will gradually expand over time to become a comprehensive body of educational resource material in bioarchaeology.

  • Working with human remains raises a whole host of ethical issues, from how the remains are used to how and where they are stored. Over recent years, attitudes towards repatriation and reburial have changed considerably and there are now laws in many countries to facilitate or compel the return of remains to claimant communities. Such changes have also brought about new ways of working with and caring for human remains, while enabling their ongoing use in research projects. This has often meant a reevaluation of working practices for both the curation of remains and in providing access to them. This volume will look at the issues and difficulties inherent in holding human remains with global origins, and how diverse institutions and countries have tackled these issues. Essential reading for advanced students in biological anthropology, museum studies, archaeology and anthropology, as well as museum curators, researchers and other professionals.
