The need for a laboratory and field manual to assist with the evaluation of juvenile skeletal material is long overdue. This resource is essential for the practising osteoarchaeologist and forensic anthropologist who requires a quick, reliable and easy-to-use reference to aid in the identification, siding and aging of juvenile osseous material. While excellent reference books on juvenile osteology are currently available, no pre-existing source adequately fills this particular niche in the...

Developmental Juvenile Osteology gives an account of the development of all the bones of the human skeleton, from their earliest embryological form to final adult form. This volume collates information never before assembled in one volume. Profusely illustrated with high quality drawings, it also provides a complete description of the adult skeleton and its anomalies. - Covers anatomy of the adult skeleton - Discusses skeletal embryology - Explains development of the child's skeleton - Col...

Les études ici rassemblées ont d’abord fait l’objet d’exposés au séminaire collectif des chercheurs du Centre d’Études de l’Inde et de l’Asie du Sud, en 1973 et 1974.

The main core of the text persists by describing each individual comp...
