      title = {The bioarchaeology of dissection and autopsy in the United  States /},
      abstract = {Encountering evidence of postmortem examinations -  dissection or autopsy- in historic skeletal collections is  relatively rare, but recently there has been an increase in  the number of reported instances. The Bioarchaeology of  Dissection and Autopsy brings together in a single volume  the skeletal evidence of postmortem examination in the  United States. Ranging from the early colonial period to  the early 1900's, from a coffeehouse at Colonial  Williamsburg to a Quaker burial vault in lower Manhattan,  the contributions to this volume demonstrate the  interpretive significance of a historically and  theoretically contextualized bioarchaeology. The authors  employ a wide range of perspectives, demonstrating how  bioarchaeological evidence can be used to address a wide  range of themes including social identity and  marginalization, racialization, the nature of the body and  fragmentation, and the emergence of medical practice and  authority in the United States.},
