Review
"As close to perfection as a book can come. . . . The Archaeology of Disease is highly recommended to all who are interested in the history of diseases and their scientific investigation. The clear, precise, and elaborate description and interpretation of paleopathological observations the world over, from many different time periods, provide excellent insight into life and death hundreds to thousands of years ago."—Andreas G. Nerlich, JAMA, September 20, 2006
"Well structured, clearly written, and extremely accurate from both a historical and scientific point of view."—The Lancet (reviewing a previous edition)
"A concise, informative, and very readable introduction to the field of paleopathology."—Journal of the History of Medicine (reviewing a previous edition)
"Details how skeletal discoveries at archaeological sites reveal much about illnesses in earlier eras and how they were treated. Dead men do tell tales."—Anneli Rufus, East Bay Express.com, 25 January 2006
"This is a fabulous book. It is stocked full of useful data, is well organized, and devoid of most of the pseudoscience that plagues this area of study. It covers the entire field in a practical, no-nonsense style. If you are interested in ancient disease, then this is the "bible," the finest text to date."—Journal of the American Association of Forensic Dentists
