This smaller sized and waterproofed manual is a excellent portable bone guide for anyone working in archaeology.

As far as forensic books go, it's very well-written, with good illustrations, and is very cost-efficient and easy to carry around. Aimed at field work, so the pointers (i.e. which bones are potentially confused with others) are very helpful. Could use some colour and more diagrams, but for the price I paid for it, I'm not complaining.

This 'pocket' edition offers the forensic student and professional a handy and detailed field manual. The book is broken into two main sections, the beginning chapters offer an introduction to the science of forensics while the later chapters cover in precise detail the bones and their features systematically. A handy scale and comprehensive chapters on ethics, recovery and modification via animals and weathering makes this volume valuable for the archaeologist. Black and white photographs express bone topography from several angles and from the same individuals to maintain scale and morphology. The brief glossary could be expanded with definitions for basic Latin and Greek scientific terms for beginner students.

This book has helped me to identify human bones associated with artefacts (e.g. spears, shields)on more than one occasion. Virtually all photographs are to scale and the grey and white photography shows detail that you can sometimes lose with colour photographs. This book is used as the unofficial textbook for the University of Queensland's (Australia)'Forensic Archaeology' subject.
