The International Journal of Osteoarchaeology is a pioneering resource for the study of human and animal bones from archaeological contexts.
Our global scope is of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, bone specialists and historians. Our aim is to publish studies that explore how human and animal remains can provide detailed and nuanced information about the behavior and ideology of past cultures. Palaeopathology studies of human and animal diseases are encouraged.
