Abstract

This paper is intended to provide a general introduction to the topic of Bioarchaeology within the field of the modern archaeological research. It starts from the search for a definition for Bioarchaeology, a difficult task considering the different viewpoints in the scientific research landscape, that can explain both its applications and potential for assessing research questions. Hence the papers, following mostly the trend of zooarchaeological research, goes on providing a bird’s eye view of some important aspects concerning methods applied to this kind of research, and then focuses on some cases study in order to highlight interesting aspects according to the chronological periods. This aiming to emphasize the need of integrating bioarchaeological disciplines within every modern archaeology research project in order to contribute, despite the inevitable methodological differences, to the complex research on ancient societies.
