Deem recounts the lives of people whose remains have been located across North America--from "Spirit Cave Man" to the unnamed inhabitants of an early twentieth-century almshouse. The profiles detail the work of archaeologists to preserve skeletal remains, as well as the science behind the reconstructions. Copious illustrations include portraits of the sculptors at work, the facial reconstructions, and historical and modern-day sites. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
