How do forensic anthropologists examining colonial-era skeletons determine that one is the remains of a fourteen-year-old boy who was shot by an arrow, that another is a respected English trader, and that a third is an indentured servant who died of suspicious causes? Here is a look into how scientists use forensic evidence and historical records to identify the remains of people that have been buried in the Chesapeake region for hundreds of years. Source notes. Time line. Selected blibliography. Further reading. Index. Map. Charts. Diagrams. Full-color photographs and reproductions. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
