The history of paleopathology in Australia
Book Chapter ResearchOnline@JCU[Extract] The study of paleopathology in Australia has been sporadic and unsystematic. This reflects the development of the discipline from an interesting sideline in anatomy to a fully professional area of research, as well as the changing relationship between bioarchaeologists and Aboriginal people in Australia. Four periods exemplify the history of paleopathology in Australia: 1. Colonial antiquarian interest; 2. C. J. Hackett's work on disease and disease evolution; 3. Regional wide- scale surveys as conducted by Stephen Webb; and 4. The current engagement with questions that involve both Aboriginal and European Australians' remains.
