Bioarchaeology, Activism and Social Justice
Conclusions/Afterword
Anthropology cannot remain passive within a world facing intersecting crises of climate change, inequality, pandemics, nationalism, AI-driven misinformation, and threats to human rights and academic freedom. Drawing on the themes of the chapters in this volume, we emphasize anthropology’s capacity to integrate scientific and humanistic perspectives, address ethical dilemmas, and contribute to social transformation. The chapter outlines strategies…
Répercussions de la Peste noire sur l'alimentation à la fin du Moyen Âge

Death metal
The use of lead was ubiquitous throughout the Roman Empire, including material for water pipes, eating vessels, medicine, and even as a sweetener for wine. The toxicity of lead is well established today, resulting in long-term psychological and neurological deficits as well as metabolic diseases. Children are particularly susceptible to the effects of lead, and it is likely that the widespread use of this deadly metal among Roman populations led …
The Mother-Infant Nexus in Anthropology
Knock-knees
Genu valgum is a condition in which a person's knees angle inwards and touch one another creating a "knock-kneed" appearance during life and potentially causing pain and walking difficulties. The most common cause of genu valgum is medial torsion of the proximal tibia, such that the lateral side becomes more weight bearing. It is considered a feature of vitamin D deficiency and many other pathological conditions. Currently, bioarchaeologists lack…
Overview
Historical evidence has provided a rich source of information concerning the structure and experience of the medieval life-course. Archaeology has also contributed to these debates, through the material remains associated with different age groups and the structural remains of houses, but primarily via the wealth of evidence provided by the medieval cemeteries. Human skeletal remains are proving to be a particularly fruitful source of data for un…
Overview
Trade in the medieval period linked people from different countries together and transferred their goods, ideas, and fashions across continents. This overview explores the archaeology of these connections but also stresses other forms of cultural contact such as pilgrimage, gifts, commissions, and direct personal acquisitions. Key circuits of trade are identified, in the twelfth century overland through French fairs which exchanged northern Europ…
Bioarchaeology
This entry considers bioarchaeology, or the contextualized study of archaeological human remains, with an emphasis on multimethod, multidisciplinary approaches. Bioarchaeology's scope, including the methods used, is outlined, alongside the history of its study. Available training is described, as are the ethics associated with studying human remains. Current and future research areas are outlined, which cover osteobiographical versus population‐b…
The Science of Roman History
Child Bioarchaeology
This article aims to provide an overview of some of the more important developments in the bioarchaeology of childhood over the past decade. Analysis of publication trends in the major osteoarchaeology and physical anthropology journals demonstrated a rise in research papers dealing with skeletal remains of children, with dietary and palaeopathological studies especially predominant. Innovations in these areas are discussed in more detail, togeth…
Ideas of Childhood in Roman Britain
Childhood Health in the Roman World
Very few studies to date have presented contextualised interpretations of bioarchaeological evidence from Roman urban environments. This paper compares and contrasts the osteological data for childhood health from two urban centres, one at the centre and the other at the margins of the Roman Empire - Rome and London. We synthesise recently published and newly recorded data on childhood indicators of physiological stress (e.g. cribra orbitalia and…
The Kephala Tholos at Knossos
This paper publishes the results of excavations of the Kephala Tholos tomb and its immediate vicinity, north of the palace of Knossos, carried out by R. W. Hutchinson in 1938–9. It presents the ceramic and osteological data from the excavations and an architectural study of the tomb structure. The analysis addresses the contentious issue of the dating of the construction of the Tholos, arguing for an LM II date on the basis of the material eviden…
