Decoding the language of bones

Bones are an archive of human experience, preserving traces of disease, violence, labour and time. In The Language of Bones, forensic anthropology reveals what human remains can tell us about lives long since ended. From ancient ossuaries and catacombs to modern forensic investigations, skeletons offer clues to the past that written history often overlooks.
