Description

Book Synopsis
Presents an important shift in the interpretation of skeletal remains in the Americas. This title aims to demonstrate how bioarchaeologists can uniquely contribute to our understanding of the formation, representation, and repercussions of identity. It highlights the importance of skeletal evidence in helping us better understand our past.

Trade Review
Extends discussions of identity beyond the social meaning of age, sex, and social role to larger issues of group identity and ethnogenesis. The integration of biological and mortuary data results in new approaches to the construction of social identity."--Dale L. Hutchinson, University of North Carolina

"Represents an important shift in the interpretation of skeletal remains in the Americas and is therefore highly significant. Also of interest to other social scientists investigating the biological and social nature of identity and embodiment, as well as to scholars whose geographical area of expertise lies outside the Americas."--Rebecca Gowland, Durham University
