Authors weave together diverse lines of evidence--osteological, archaeological, ethnographic, clinical--in their historical and cultural contexts. Sophisticated analytical tools and theoretical frameworks position this book at the cutting edge of bioarchaeological research and illustrate the cultural relativity of care, caregiving, and healthcare in the past and present, and in Western and non-Western contexts.\"--Alexis Boutin, coeditor of \u003ci\u003eRemembering the Dead in the Ancient Near East: Recent Contributions from Bioarchaeology and Mortuary Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRepresenting\u003cbr\u003ecurrent and emerging methods and theory, this volume introduces new avenues for\u003cbr\u003eexploring how prehistoric and historic communities provided health care for\u003cbr\u003etheir sick, injured, and disabled members.
