Written in Bone by Sally M. Walker

Forensic anthropologist help to tell the story of those who lived and died in Jamestown and Colonial Maryland. They tell the story of an enslaved young girl, a teen boy and a colonial official and his family. They determined the gender of the bones they found, place in society, they could even determine cause of death. The information in the book is extremely interesting, and pictures are what really make this book for me. I had a really hard time reading this one. It read too much like a text book.
