Trade ReviewBioarchaeology of the American Southeast compares favorably with other Southeastern-focused bioarchaeology volumes that survey the various archaeological populations in the American southeast. It belongs on bookshelves next to volumes such as

What Mean These Bones? Studies in Southeastern Bioarchaeology."" - Michelle D. Hamilton, associate professor of anthropology at Texas State University
""A wonderful successor to
What Mean These Bones?,
Bioarchaeology of the American Southeast demonstrates the current diversity seen in theoretical approaches in the discipline, from traditional population-based analyses of health to more socially focused studies of the individual. It will be a valuable addition to courses in both bioarchaeology as well as Southeastern prehistory."" - Marie Danforth, professor of anthropology at the University of Southern Mississippi
