Reviews

`This edited volume makes several significant contributions to the area of paleodietary studies through bio-geographical techniques and is a "must have" for individuals who study paleodiet. '
American Antiquity, 67:1 (2002)
'[...] this book is a welcome addition to the growing corpus of edited volumes on the subject. [..]collected here are solid, timely contributions by experts in the field. It is therefore highly recommended to students of paleodiet and bone chemistry and absolutely to any library worth its salt.'
Journal of Anthropological Research 58, (2002)
