This review explores bioarchaeology's diverse approaches and research questions in the Roman Empire, highlighting its broad relevance.
This review examines the edited volume by Elizabeth A. Bews and Kathryn E. Marklein, "Roman Bioarchaeology: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Life and Death in the Roman World" which presents a synthesis of bioarchaeology from across multiple regions of the Roman Empire. This volume's strengths are in its wide variety of accessible and theoretically-grounded approaches to bioarchaeological research. The contributors' incorporation of social theoretical frameworks and nuanced research questions makes it invaluable to all bioarchaeologists, beyond those studying the Roman Empire.
