A well-edited and organized book that will provide anyone interested in the ancient Middle East the opportunity to encounter the quality and diversity of skeletal research being conducted in the region. Jerome C. Rose, University of Arkansas A welcome contribution to the literature on burial practices and human skeletal remains; includes some innovative analytical techniques for determining groups of individuals dating from the Natufian to the Medieval period in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean. Michelle Bonogofsky, editor of The Bioarchaeology of the Human Head: Decapitation, Decoration, and DeformationWhile tombs and cemeteries have long fascinated archaeologists and art historians interested in the cultures of the Near East and eastern Mediterranean, the human skeletal remains contained in the tombs of this region have garnered less attention. The essays collected in Bioarchaeology and Behavior synthesize recent research on human skeletal remains and their archaeological and historical contexts. Featuring eight diverse papers, this volume aims a spotlight on the ancient inhabitants of the circum-Mediterranean region. Utilizing an environmental, social, and political framework, the contributors present scholarly case studies on such topics as mortuary archaeology, genetic investigations of migration patterns, and ancient populations health, disease, and diet. Other key anthropological issues addressed include the effects of the domestication of plants and animals, the rise of state-level formations, and the role of religion in society. Ultimately, this collection will provide anthropologists, archaeologists, and bioarchaeologists with an important foundation for future research in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean. Megan A. Perry is associate professor of anthropology at East Carolina University and codirector of the Petra North Ridge Project. She is a contributor to The Global History of Paleopathology.A volume in the series Bioarchaeological Interpretations of the Human Past: Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives, edited by Clark Spencer Larsen"
