Schwartz presents a detailed yet highly accessible introduction to the study of the human skeleton. This unique volume examines the skeleton from its developmental basis to the expression of individual variation. It reviews a variety of different approaches used to determine an individuals sex, age, and pathological history and challenges readers to think critically about how to analyze a human skeleton rather than learning formulas for quick results. An ideal text for courses in human osteology, skeletal analysis, and bioarchaeology, this book is also a helpful reference for professionals.\n\nThoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Skeleton Keys features:\n\n* The companion website contains hundreds of color images of skeletons and skeletal elements--demonstrating morphology, pathology, and nonmetric variation--that can be used as classroom projections or for individual study\n* Coverage of the most recent developments in the field, including the molecular regulation of bone and tooth formation\n* Expanded studies in each area of analysis: sex, age, nonmetric variation, pathology, biodistance and bioarchaeology, and stable isotope analysis\n* Additional photographic images, especially in the pathology and sexing chapters\n* Two separate and extensively illustrated chapters on the skull, one dealing with articulated elements and one with isolated bones (these topics were covered in one chapter in the first edition)\n* Integration of material--such as anthropometric landmarks--from appendices in the previous edition into relevant chapters as tables\n* More accessible language throughout and an extensive glossary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44961161674805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195188594","price":84.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195188592_f1bceaef-f162-4193-ae98-63ebf329e09c.jpg?v=1781414829","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/skeleton-keys-an-introduction-to-human-skeletal-morphology-development-and-analysis-9780195188592","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
