The articles included in this volume were all presented at the 15th annual British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchaeology (BABAO) conference held at the University of York on the 13th and 15th of September 2013. Sessions were structured around three main themes, with key notes from Jim Walvin (University of York, History), Jelena Bekvalac (Centre for Human Bioarchaeology, Museum of London), Ian Barnes (Natural History Museum, London) and an open session, keynote Paul OHiggins (Centre for Anatomical and Human Sciences, Hull York Medical School). It was the aim of the conference organisers to reflect the breadth of the 500 BABAO members and their interests in the 2013 conference themes, combining the application of a variety of analysis techniques for each theme in preference of focusing on a method-based approach. We received a considerable number of high quality abstracts that made for a dynamic conference, which was reflected in the largest number of conference delegates to date (220).
