WRITTEN IN BONE: HIDDEN STORIES IN WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND

From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, Professor Dame Sue Black shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it. Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.
