PALEOPATHOLOGY: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACH OF DISEASES
Abstract
Paleopathology is an holistic science that shares methods and concepts with biological anthropology and biomedical sciences and that belongs to archaeology by its approach (study of diseases in the past). Following the development of archaeology, paleopathology moved its research interest from isolated cases to reconstruction of life conditions of past populations in their environment. We illustrate here, by taking some examples in the field of human infections, this archaeological approach of diseases.
