Abstract: |
The book shows how scientific and archaeological techniques can be used to identify the common illnesses and injuries from which humans suffered in the past. The authors study evidence gleaned from written records and works of art as well as from ancient human remains, and combine a clinical interpretation of prevalent diseases with description of their social, economic and cultural consequences. |
