Studies in Forensic Biohistory. Anthropological Perspectives, Paperback

For decades anthropologists and other scientists have participated in 'post-mortem dissections' of the lives of historical figures, identifying and analyzing bodies. Presenting relevant case studies, this book examines the role of the anthropologist in the writing of histories about the famous and infamous dead and how those histories reflect contemporary social interests.
