"This is an important work on a topic of huge interest to archaeologists and related
scientists, since the use of imaging techniques in the field has been expanding rapidly
in recent decades." "Paleoradiology involves the use of X-rays and advanced medical
imaging modalities to evaluate ancient human and animal skeletons as well as biological
materials from archaeological sites." "Paleoradiological studies have been performed
on mummies, skeletal remains and fossils to determine their sex and age at death."
"Diagnostic paleoradiology is the use of X-ray studies to detect ancient diseases.
The broad range of themes and imaging techniques in this volume reflects four decades
of research undertaken by Don Brothwell in the fields of anthropology, human paleopathology,
and zooarchaeology, combined with two decades of skeletal radiology experience during
which Rethy Chhem read over 150,000 skeletal X-ray and CT studies."--Jacket
