Session title: BIOARCHAEOLOGY OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE HISTORIES
The field of archaeological science is rapidly expanding. This growth includes laboratory methods for examination of human skeletal remains such as stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium, as well as ancient DNA analyses. Together with equally advancing methods of macroscopic and microscopic studies, these new techniques, combined with the investigation of artefacts and...
متن کاملHuman bioarchaeology: Group identity and individual life histories – Introduction
The approach of individual life histories has been facilitated by a rapid growth in the area of bioand archaeological sciences, and in human osteology. Concurrent improvements to radiocarbon dating and focus on high resolution paleoenvironmental reconstructions have moved the new research to the annual or decadal scale of analysis. Together, this new approach allows us: (1) to reconstruct long ...
متن کاملLife span and life course approaches to dermatological disease.
Social and behavioral scientists have long been interested in cumulative, life course processes. This chapter reviews prototypical questions and methods from the life span approach in psychology as well as the life course approach in sociology. Their relevance for understanding the unfolding lives of those who suffer from skin disorders is then considered. Key themes extracted from these approa...
متن کاملLegacies in life histories.
Complex life-histories are common in nature, have many important biological consequences, and are an important focal area for integrative biology. For organisms with complex life-histories, a legacy is something handed down from an ancestor or previous stage, and can be genetic, nutritional/provisional, experiential, as well as the result of random chance and natural variation in the environmen...
متن کاملLife-course approaches to inequalities in adult chronic disease risk.
A life-course approach to chronic-disease epidemiology uses a multidisciplinary framework to understand the importance of time and timing in associations between exposures and outcomes at the individual and population levels. Such an approach to chronic diseases is enriched by specification of the particular manner in which timing in relation to physical growth, reproduction, infection, social ...
