-Human Skeletal Remains merits the attention of all archaeologists concerned with the recovery and analysis of burials.... For introductory students and general readers, as well as for archaeologists interested in learning what human skeletal remains can reveal, this volume provides an outstanding distillation of the goals and methods of physical anthropology.- --Marshall Joseph Becker, American Journal of Archaeology -For any person who has wondered about the merits of burial excavation, and for any archaeologists likely to be faced with the task, this volume should be required reading.... [T]his book is quite good. It will certainly be a useful companion piece to standard osteology texts, which seldom touch on research problems or techniques appropriate for field-data recovery.... [T]his book is an excellent pioneer effort. Ubelaker is to be congratulated for attempting a most difficult task. He has set out to demonstrate that burial excavation is worthwhile and that quality data collection is imperative if osteological data are to be efficiently utilized. His arguments are most persuasive.- --Jane E.
