Abstract
social inequalities and their representation in a funerary context, and the value of bioarchaeological research versus the cost of disturbing an internment site. Discussing these issues in an introductory textbook has the potential to influence the work ethics of young researchers and perhaps to promote resolution of current biocultural conflicts. Lastly, Sutton’s final chapter dedicated to differentiating forensic anthropological from bioarchaeological theories is refreshing, while it also introduces the reader to the new and rising field of humanitarian forensic anthropology (e.g. mass burials/genocides) which has the potential to shed light on past political conflicts.
