		Bioarchaeology is the collaborative study of biological humans remain in context.
		Bioarchaeology came of age during the 1980s when the parent disciplines of human adaptability and processual archaeology were the dominant theoretical driving forces in physical anthropology and archaeology.
		Bioarchaeology also came of age world-wide as indigenous people and descendant communities became (and continue to be) actively engaged in challenging the removal and analysis of human remains.

		Bioarchaeology is the field that attempts to identify and interpret biological remains from archaeological sites in terms of human usage, biogeography, and paleoecology.
		In a field as broad as bioarchaeology, numerous sources of information are necessary.
		This seemed to be a good opportunity to add to the Laboratory for Environmental Biology's services to the scientific community by making the bibliography open to any viewer even though the web-based portion of the course itself was open only by password.

		Bioarchaeology is the excavation and study of human skeletal remains and associated artifacts and faunal remains in order to reconstruct past biological, behavioral, cultural, historical, and environmental conditions and processes.
		Bioarchaeology is an embracing field, which uses ecological, macroevolutionary, microevolutionary, and cultural anthropological theories of several paradigms to interpret human skeletal and associated remains.
		The Bioarchaeology program at Arizona State is designed to train students specifically in the synthesis—rather than simply the juxtaposition—of archaeological and physical anthropological methods and theories for studying past cultures and human adaptation.

		When judged from the common assumption that the name of a discipline should reflect, as best as possible, its subject matter as well as its methodological basis, the term “bioarchaeology” is a veritable misnomer.
		'Bioarchaeology' as defined by the author C. Larsen and others does not deal with all biological material derived from archaeological digs, but only with the mortal remains of prehistoric people.
		Moreover, beyond a critical review of theories and methods, his book is meant to provide a tour de force "of the vast holdings in this storehouse [of individual historical events, provided by human skeletal and dental tissues], displaying the knowledge gained about earlier peoples based on the study of their mortal remains" (ibid.).

		Bioarchaeology: Interpreting Behavior from the Human Skeleton, by Clark Spencer Larsen.
		Bioarchaeology is the most thorough and authoritative treatment of skeletal biology and archeology that exists.
		What makes Bioarchaeology such a useful contribution is Larsen's ability to deal with evidence that moves from the individual to the population to a regional analysis.

	Bioarchaeology
		Larsen is a recognized authority on the subject of bioarchaeology, with several symposia, journal articles, and monographs (e.g.
		This volume, which represents to my knowledge one of the only comprehensive syntheses of bioarchaeological methods, techniques, and theory, will be useful both as a standard reference for professionals and as a textbook in advanced courses in bioarchaeology and the interpretation of human skeletal remains.
		This introduction sets the tone for the remainder of the book – although the drawbacks of each theory and technique are given, the message is clear: bioarchaeology is an up-and-coming field of study, and archaeologists and physical anthropologists must be made aware of the benefits to the study of archaeologically derived human skeletal remains.

	UNC-CH bioanthropologist's book looks to skeletons to flesh out truth
		Bioarchaeology, a growing scientific field representing a melding of biological anthropology and archaeology, is helping create a more complete picture of the history of sites such as the Oneota village.
		Bioarchaeology is an emerging discipline that emphasizes the “human biological component of the archaeological record,” Larsen said.
		Larsen discusses physiological stress, exposure to disease, injury and violence, physical activity, dietary and non-dietary use of the face and jaws, dietary reconstruction, nutrition and population history.

		Under such a definition one can focus on topics as diverse as human biological evolution, the diet of past human populations through the study of human or faunal skeletal remains, the social organization of forager groups as it relates to subsistence factors, or paleoenvironmental reconstruction as an aid to understanding dietary practices.
		These include four research labs, a bioarchaeology teaching lab, a photographic darkroom, a networked computer lab with all the latest analytical software, extensive fossil and skeletal cast collections, and analytical devices such as microscopes, x-ray machines, and digital and film cameras.
		Some courses in Bioarchaeology are required for the degree and much thesis research is undertaken in the same areas.
