Exploring behaviour through bones has always been a fascinating topic to those that study human remains. We see it every day, and experience it, but when it comes to past populations, understanding behaviour is largely mediated by our ability to read it in bones. Human bodies record and store vast amounts of information about the way we move, where we live, and our experiences of health and socioeconomic circumstances.
Each chapter is dedicated to a specific region of the human body, guiding the reader from head to toe and highlighting how evidence found on the skull, shoulder, thorax, Behaviour in Our Bones: How Human Behaviour Influences Skeletal Morphology examines how human physical and cultural actions and interactions can be read through careful analyses of skeletal human remains.This book synthesises the latest research on reconstructing behaviour in the past.
