About This Item
Stroud, Gloucestershire.: Sutton Publishing Limited, 1997. Second edition. Illustrated, large octavo, pp xii, 243, paperback, very slight signs of use, but overall a very good copy. [The Archaeology of Disease shows how the latest scientific and archaeological techniques can be used to identify the common illnesses and injuries that humans suffered from in antiquity. In order to give a vivid picture of ancient disease and trauma the authors present the results of the latest scientific research and incorporate information gathered from documents, from other areas of archaeology and from art and ethnography. This comprehensive approach to the subject throws fresh light on the health of our ancestors and on the conditions in which they lived, and it gives us an intriguing insight into the ways in which they coped with the pain and discomfort of their existence.]. Second edition. Paperback. Very Good.
