Written in bone - Sue Black

Our bones are the silent witnesses to the lives we lead.

Our stories are marbled into their marrow.

Drawing upon her years of research and remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist

Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to toe, via the teeth, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, the things we do - all these leave a trace, a message waiting for a forensic anthropologist to decipher it.

Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the stories hidden in what we leave behind.
