This site report is the result of decades of research on the site, the home of one of the Near East's largest and most carefully documented collections of human skeletal remains. Ortner and Frohlich (both anthropologists, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute) write about the history of the excavations, the ecological and social context of the EB I people, and the methods of recovery and research; a varied cast of contributors follow with chapters on the cultural artifacts of the EB I tombs, the funerary traditions, the shaft tombs and charnel house excavated in 1977, the tombs excavated in 1979 and 1981, the osteology and paleodemography of the EB IA people, the paleopathology of the EB IA and IB people, a dental analysis of the human remains, and a summary of findings and conclusions. This publication is illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings, photographs, and plans. Oversize: 9x11.25" Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
