A Concise Guide to Differential Diagnosis in Palaeopathology is a practical guide to the identification of pathological conditions in human skeletal remains.This guide serves as an essential first step in differential diagnosis, helping readers identify potential conditions that may have caused observed lesions, enabling them to conduct more targeted and effective research in palaeopathological and clinical literature. The book features an intuitive organisation with chapters arranged by disease aetiology, complemented by clear graphs, detailed figures, and concise bulleted lists highlighting key manifestations for each anatomical area. This format enables readers to access information easily and efficiently, facilitating an initial narrowing down of potential diseases, which can be overwhelming for newcomers to the field of palaeopathology, especially when working with limited resources and under pressing deadlines. By boiling the information down to the key elements, this guide acts as a quick reference and forms a helpful, practical, concise resource for students, teachers, and professionals, for teaching and data collection in the field and in the lab.A Concise Guide to Differential Diagnosis in Palaeopathology is going to be essential for students in palaeopathology, bioarchaeology, and biological anthropology courses, and for practising anthropologists with varying experience levels seeking to identify unfamiliar pathological conditions in human skeletal remains.
