Both intentional and unintentional commingling present significant challenges and opportunities within bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, making this topic increasingly relevant in contemporary research.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on previous works, \u003cem\u003eCommingled and Disarticulated Human Remains\u003c\/em\u003e (2014) and \u003cem\u003eTheoretical Approaches to Analysis and Interpretation of Commingled Human Remains \u003c\/em\u003e(2016) (both published with Springer), this updated work serves as a critical resource for scholars, offering insights into the application of methodologies and theoretical models explored in earlier volumes. The case studies not only reflect current practices but also project future directions for the analysis of commingled remains over the next decade. This book, like those that came before it on this topic, will be an excellent reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of commingled remains and their implications in both academic and applied settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna Osterholtz is an Associate Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University and a Senior Research Associate at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology. Her research expertise is in bioarchaeology and mortuary archaeology, with a particular focus on the application of the Poetics model to mortuary contexts. In addition to her work on the Poetics model, Dr. Osterholtz has helped to develop best practices for the analysis and interpretation of commingled human remains, particularly from ossuary and massacre assemblages. In recent years, her research has also expanded to investigate the role of lead consumption, health, and age at death during the Roman period in Croatia, a project for which she received a Wenner-Gren grant in collaboration with Mario Novak at the Institute for Anthropological Research in Zagreb. Dr. Osterholtz has conducted fieldwork and lab-based research across the Americas (US Southwest), Europe (Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania), and the Middle East (UAE), exploring the intricate relationships between the living and the dead. She has edited or co-edited five volumes and authored or co-authored over twenty peer-reviewed articles. Currently, she serves on the editorial board of the Bioarchaeology and Social Theory series published by Springer and is an associate editor for the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032287601\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49476485120140,"sku":"9783032287601","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032287601.jpg?v=1780597757","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032287601","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
