Killgrove, K. (2005). Bioarchaeology in the Roman world. Bioarchaeology in the Roman world Details Type Thesis Title Bioarchaeology in the Roman world Contributor(s) Killgrove, Kristina (author) (Nicola Terrenato) (Thesis advisor) (Donald Haggis) (Committee member) (Dale Hutchinson) (Committee member)University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Classics (Degree grantor) Date 2005 Abstract On account of differences in the evolution of the field of anthropology in American and Italian scholarship, the role of bio-archaeology has been nearly non-existent in the latter. Numerous scholars over the past two decades have advocated a more holistic approach to Roman archaeology, namely fostering communication between the disciplines of anthropology and classics, yet little has been accomplished towards this goal. A change in the current perception of the Roman world is necessary in order to dismantle long-held assumptions about this culture. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the utility of bioarcheology as applied to the Roman world for framing and answering questions about the lifeways of people in this ancient society.
