Bioarchaeology in the Caribbean assembles leading and emerging scholars in Caribbean bioarchaeology, offering an overview of current research in genomic analyses, deathways, demography and health, diet and population mobility, and research ethics.

Chapters emphasize the importance of culture in human adaptation and behavior at both population and individual levels. The first volume to focus solely on Caribbean bioarchaeology, this book is a landmark in this rapidly advancing area of scholarship, providing insight into current research methods and theoretical debates. The Caribbean region has a long and diverse history, and the chapters reflect this, discussing Indigenous, African and European colonial populations, temporally spanning the Archaic period, the Early and Late Ceramic periods, the time of first European contact, and the Colonial period.

Bioarchaeology in the Caribbean will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in bioarchaeology and Caribbean bioarchaeology and archaeology, in particular, as well as local stakeholders in the Caribbean (museum and archaeology professionals).
