Description

How can researchers identify and measure human disease when soft tissue is no longer present? Palaeoepidemiology: The Measure of Disease in the Human Past provides a clear guide to the ingenious methods used to assess illness and mortality within archaeological populations. Published by Routledge as part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications, this volume serves as an essential resource for those studying the history of human health. This book outlines key epidemiological methods specifically for non-specialists. It covers the vital importance of studying prevalence over incidence and explains the necessary adjustments required when studying past groups. Readers will learn how to compare different studies effectively and understand the risks involved when attempting to assess occupation based solely on bone evidence. The volume concludes with a practical model for planning a proper paleoepidemiological study, making it a functional tool for students and researchers in anthropology and archaeology.
