Download or read book Digging Up Bones written by Don R. Brothwell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year hundreds of human skeletal remains are brought to the surface by engineering works, quarrying or planned archaeological exploration. These remains provide vital clues to unraveling man's antiquity--their position and location, relation to other remains, state of preservation and "medical" condition all provide important information on ancient man and his living environment. Inferences regarding length of life, nutritional standards, diseases and origin of injuries can all be made in bones that are thousands of years old. However, many of these features are open to interpretation and the information gained is only as good as the records and analysis made at that time. The purpose of this book is to describe the many techniques now available for the proper excavation, preparation and analysis of human skeletal remains, so that the most effective use can be made of them. As such it will prove invaluable to both amateur and professional archaeologists, students of anthropology and anatomy, and the layman who has an interest in this ancestors' modus vivendi.

Today, teams of experts work together to dig dinosaur fossils out of the ground, bone by fragile bone.

Book excerpt: this book, 'Digging Up The Bones' is testament to that fact: Adrian Manning is, and has sealed an ever-growing inspirational and respected presence in the small press for over two decades: his work can be found the globe over, both online and in print: 'Digging up The Bones' is a selection that has been snatched and stolen from 18 chapbooks of poetry and a small selection of 'uncollected poems': From the opening, brilliant and eloquent opening poem 'The Poet In His Underwear' to the final poem 'A Mouthful of Numbness and Eyes Full of Light', Adrian Manning has your attention. Sometimes the poems kick you in the face, sometimes you have to put the book down and savour some of the very moving, special and loving imagery: whatever Adrian Manning is writing about, he gives it to you, the reader, in detail: sometimes the desperate, hidden characters of this life appear, nature is something that Manning is very close too, is a part of and this book will become a part of your life.

Download or read book Digging Up the Dead written by Michael Kammen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Digging Up the Dead, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Michael Kammen reveals a treasure trove of fascinating, surprising, and occasionally gruesome stories of exhumation and reburial throughout American history. Taking us to the contested grave sites of such figures as Sitting Bull, John Paul Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Boone, Jefferson Davis, and even Abraham Lincoln, Kammen explores how complicated interactions of regional pride, shifting reputations, and evolving burial practices led to public and often emotional battles over the final resting places of famous figures. Grave-robbing, skull-fondling, cases of mistaken identity, and the financial lures of cemetery tourism all come into play as Kammen delves deeply into this little-known—yet surprisingly persistent—aspect of American history. Simultaneously insightful and interesting, masterly and macabre, Digging Up the Dead reminds us that the stories of American history don’t always end when the key players pass on. Rather, the battle—over reputations, interpretations, and, last but far from least, possession of the remains themselves—is often just beginning.

Determined to get to the bottom of the map’s origin and what it might tell her about the mysterious plot of land, Nell will have to contend with a construction company owner who disappears, a former Society board member who’s harbored a dark secret her entire life, and a remarkable discovery that may have the dead turning over in their graves . . .
