Archaeological Adaptation: Case Studies of Cultural Transformation from the Southeast and Caribbean. C. CLIFFORD BOYD JR., editor. University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville. xxix + 359 pp. $80.00 (hardcover), ISBN 978-1-6219-0522-6.

rich discussion of the integration of GIS, ethics, community engagement, and the CRM bioarchaeology recovery and analysis of threatened properties. Their study samples came from cemeteries at the Citadel in Charleston containing Confederate soldiers. Their analysis addresses material culture, mortuary behavior, spatial patterning, age and sex, and health. They find that the record of pathological markers does not fit the archival pattern of health in nineteenth-century Charleston, a finding reminiscent of that of Funkhouser and Hester. The final chapter by William Stevens and coauthors assesses an unusual deposit of materials, including human skeletal parts, from the University of South Carolina medical school. They situate the remains within the social and historical context of the antebellum and Reconstruction-era South to discuss the separation of some individuals from society by ethnicity, poverty, and circumstance. Their discussion adds yet another case of the often-clandestine activities of nineteenth-century medical colleges, supplementing the earlier reported book on the Medical College of Georgia (Blakely and Harrington, Bones in the Basement: Postmortem Racism in NineteenthCentury Medical Training, 1997). Bioarchaeology of the American Southeast adds new data from bioarchaeological investigations in the Southeast while engaging emerging and innovative theoretical approaches and new technologies. The resulting set of discussions gives new insights about those who lived in the region before modern times. The book is well suited for classroom use and will be appreciated by professional bioarchaeologists and others interested in the American Southeast.
