Rezensionen

"Social Bioarchaeology makes an excellent reference for this subfield, and stresses the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach at a time perhaps when anthropology needs it most." -- Social Bioarchaeology, 12 April 2011

"Furthermore, despite the technical nature of many of the contributions, the overall concepts are generally presented in an organized and clear format that would not at all preclude their use in advanced undergraduate seminars." (American Journal Physical Anthropology, 14 March 2014) "In the first instance the book is dedicated to scientists and students of Archaeology, biological Anthropology, and Palaeopathology as well as to other scientists interested in social and biological variations of man by permanent changes of the environment." (HOMO Journal of Comparative Human Biology, 2011)
