Egyptian bioarchaeology and identity
Egyptian bioarchaeology and identity
Bioarchaeology comprises the study of human remains in their wider archaeological and biosocial context. Bioarchaeology moves the study of human remains beyond osteological analysis; its key is to add nuance to the understanding of identity and to give individuals back their personhood. Bioarchaeology uses an enmeshed series of methodological approaches, grounded in a broad range of theoretical frameworks, many of which have their origins outside of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology. Due to space constraints, Egyptian Bioarchaeology and Identity excludes discussions of age, sex/gender, palaeopathology or dietary analysis, so the aim of the Element is to present aspects of the current state of bioarchaeology in the Egyptian Nile Valley and highlight some of the different approaches used and the future potential for the field.

Abstract
Bioarchaeology comprises the study of human remains in their wider archaeological and biosocial context. Bioarchaeology moves the study of human remains beyond osteological analysis; its key is to add nuance to the understanding of identity and to give individuals back their personhood. Bioarchaeology uses an enmeshed series of methodological approaches, grounded in a broad range of theoretical frameworks, many of which have their origins outside of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology. Due to space constraints, Egyptian Bioarchaeology and Identity excludes discussions of age, sex/gender, palaeopathology or dietary analysis, so the aim of the Element is to present aspects of the current state of bioarchaeology in the Egyptian Nile Valley and highlight some of the different approaches used and the future potential for the field.
