Just what I expected

This was just what I expected. It was perfect for the paper I had to write. It described what I needed to know.

Comprehensive summary of contemporary osteoarchaeology.

A superlative in-depth investigation into the complex field of osteoarchaeology--from dentition to DNA. Brimming with visual support and graphical models. Mays is not afraid to challenge the indoctrinated faith in archaeological forensics. Sure to become the definitive text on the subject.
