Physical Anthropology Series

	Paleopathology: A 20,000-Skeleton Perspective The diagnosis of various pathologies is a major tool for both archaeology and medicine. This set illustrates disease phenomena which are reproducible across geographic and even species lines. The antiquity of one disease -- rheumatoid arthritis -- varies geographically, possible evidence for its origin as vector-transmitted and for speculation about human behavior. By Bruce M. Rothschild. 63 slides -- $55 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Dental Anthropology By illustrating variations in human dental morphology and pathology. this set demonstrates the information anthropologists can gain about diet, behavior, nutritional stress and biological interrelationships of prehistoric and living populations. Included are archaeological specimens from India, Pakistan, and the Canary Islands. By John R. Lukacs. 90 slides -- $70 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of Dental Anthropology images
	Origins of Treponemal Disease, Distinguished According to Variety Syphilis, Yaws, and Bejel occur in more than 40 ancient populations. Yaws and Bejel can be traced back more than 6,000 years in the New World, possibly migrating with early Asian populations. Consistently represented for thousands of years, replacement of Yaws by syphilis is first documented 1800 years ago in the United States. The osseous record suggests possible infection of Columbus' crew. Thus, syphilis appears to be a New World disease, derived from Old World Yaws, and subsequently transmitted back to the Old World. By Bruce M. Rothschild, M.D. and Christine Rothschild. 38 slides -- $34 -- Available on CD-Rom
	Forensic Anthropology Forensic Anthropology offers a broad overview of a field of biological anthropology that focuses the wider scope of skeletal biology on problems of medico-legal significance, primarily in determining personal identity and cause of death from analysis of human skeletal remains. This slide set will introduce the student to the full range of problems associated with human skeletal identification and trauma analysis, and how forensic anthropologists find answers to those problems. The images represent over 30 years of forensic casework performed at the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at the University of Florida.
