Overview

This is an interdisciplinary approach to the research potential of a histological inspection of excavated bones. Anthropologists, forensic specialists, palaeontologists and palaeopathologists have to deal with the unique problems associated with the investigation of mineralized tissues which have been buried in different soil environments for a long time. A summary of the appropriate methods of investigation of species, determination of age at death and the diagnosis of pathology, is presented in this volume. Although the contributions focus on light microsocpy, more advanced methods such as histomorphometry and microradiography are also discussed in detail.
