Every year hundreds of human skeletal remains are brought to the surface by engineering works, quarrying or planned archaeological exploration. These remains provide vital clues to unraveling man's antiquity--their position and location, relation to other remains, state of preservation and "medical" condition all provide important information on ancient man and his living environment. Inferences regarding length of life, nutritional standards, diseases and origin of injuries can all be made in bones that are thousands of years old. However, many of these features are open to interpretation and the information gained is only as good as the records and analysis made at that time. The purpose of this book is to describe the many techniques now available for the proper excavation, preparation and analysis of human skeletal remains, so that the most effective use can be made of them. As such it will prove invaluable to both amateur and professional archaeologists, students of anthropology and anatomy, and the layman who has an interest in this ancestors' modus vivendi.

this book, 'Digging Up The Bones' is testament to that fact: Adrian Manning is, and has sealed an ever-growing inspirational and respected presence in the small press for over two decades: his work can be found the globe over, both online and in print: 'Digging up The Bones' is a selection that has been snatched and stolen from 18 chapbooks of poetry and a small selection of 'uncollected poems': From the opening, brilliant and eloquent opening poem 'The Poet In His Underwear' to the final poem 'A Mouthful of Numbness and Eyes Full of Light', Adrian Manning has your attention. Sometimes the poems kick you in the face, sometimes you have to put the book down and savour some of the very moving, special and loving imagery: whatever Adrian Manning is writing about, he gives it to you, the reader, in detail: sometimes the desperate, hidden characters of this life appear, nature is something that Manning is very close too, is a part of and this book will become a part of your life.

How did those enormous dinosaur skeletons get inside the museum? Long ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Then, suddenly, they died out. For thousands of years, no one knew these giant creatures had ever existed. Then people began finding fossils -- bones and teeth and footprints that had turned to stone. Today, teams of experts work together to dig dinosaur fossils out of the ground, bone by fragile bone. Then they put the skeletons together again inside museums, to look just like the dinosaurs of millions of years ago.
