This is the first book to address theory and practice in Applied Bioarchaeology a term used to describe bioarchaeological research which addresses matters of relevance today, and which actively engages people in the research process in ways that are respectful and relevant to the studied population, their communities, and their descendants. This book provides examples of best practice; identifies challenges and opportunities for developing the field of Applied Bioarchaeology; and illustrates the role of bioarchaeology in effecting change through advocacy and activism.
The book is divided into four parts. The first part, Using Past Experience to Inform Modern Behaviour and Health , demonstrates how bioarchaeology has the potential to contribute towards better appreciation of the diverse factors that influence behaviour and health, and how this information can shape, inform, and empower future decision-making, from individuals to wider health policies. The second part, Developing Community-Led Research , focuses on developing active community engagement in bioarchaeological research, with chapters arguing for community-led research designed to empower a wide range of peoples that have been marginalized (or even ignored) in traditional archaeological practice. The third part, Bioarchaeology and the Arts , illustrates how Applied Bioarchaeology is enhanced by cross-disciplinary teamwork, and how the arts can be used to create safe spaces to explore difficult issues, to aid us in critically reflecting on our practices, to interrogate gaps in knowledge, and to develop new ideas and ways of thinking, learning, and creating knowledge. The final part, A Way Forward , is a personal reflection written by Lorna Tilley, which argues the case for developing the field of Applied Bioarchaeology and suggests some possible approaches for achieving this goal.
Catriona J. McKenzie is Associate Professor at the University of Exeter, UK. She has been developing the field of Applied Bioarchaeology through projects such as Literary Archaeology: Exploring the Lived Environment of the Slave (AHRC funded), and Care, the Great Human Tradition: A Multidisciplinary Collaborative Exploration of Family Care Across Time and Culture (Wellcome Trust funded). Previous books include the co-edited volume Writing Remains: New Intersections of Archaeology, Literature and Science; the co-authored book Life and Death in Medieval Gaelic Ireland: The Skeletons from Ballyhanna, Co. Donegal; and a co-edited volume The Science of a Lost Medieval Gaelic Cemetery: The Ballyhanna Research Project.
Lorna Tilley is an independent researcher living in Australia. Her research focuses on lived experiences of disability and care in the past, and the methodology she developed is described in Theory and Practice in the Bioarchaeology of Care (the first volume in the Bioarchaeology and Social Theory series). She has since co-edited a volume on advances in the bioarchaeology of care approach New Developments in the Bioarchaeology of Care: Further Case Studies and Extended Theory and two Special Issues in the International Journal of Paleopathology on Mummy Studies and the Bioarchaeology of Care and Disability and Care in Western Europe during Medieval Times:
