Practical guidance for field work in physical anthropology makes every step count.
This nonfiction guide covers how to collect, label, photograph, and describe human remains with care and consistency. It shows practical tips for packing, numbering, and transporting skeletal material, and it discusses how to capture condition, burial type, and archaeological context through careful notes and records.
This edition emphasizes hands‑on methods you can use in the field or museum setting, including how to document hair samples, skulls, teeth, and large bones. It also explains the value of photographs taken before moving remains and how to organize data so researchers can compare and analyze findings later. The book includes example record blanks, guidance on creating useful field data, and an overview of basic statistical methods to summarize measurements."Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
