Broken Bones, Broken Bodies : Bioarchaeological and Forensic Approaches for Accumulative Trauma and Violence, Hardback Book

Broken Bones, Broken Bodies : Bioarchaeological and Forensic Approaches for Accumulative Trauma and Violence Hardback

Edited by Caryn E. Tegtmeyer, Debra L. Martin

Hardback

Description

Injury recidivism is a continuing health problem in the modern clinical setting and has been part of medical literature for some time.

However, it has been largely absent from forensic and bioarchaeological scholarship, despite the fact that practitioners work closely with skeletal remains and, in many cases, skeletal trauma.

The contributors to this edited collection seek to close this gap by exploring the role that injury recidivism and accumulative trauma plays in bioarchaeological and forensic contexts.

Case examples from prehistoric, historic, and modern settings are included to highlight the avenues through which injury recidivism can be studied and analyzed in skeletal remains and to illustrate the limitations of studying injury recidivism in deceased populations.
