As illustrated in this book, bioarchaeology is a product of concepts and standards that have been developed over several generations of scholarship. Many of the individuals who contributed to this concept are discussed at length in the individual chapters that follow.

We dedicate this book to those who came before us and laid the foundations on which we have built. To Earnest Hooton who begat the first generation of anthropologically trained biological anthropologists in the United States. To Ale Hrdlika who created a center for research in human osteology at the Smithsonian Institution. To Larry Angel who integrated aspects of the heritage of both Hooton and Hrdlika. To Chuck Merbs who supervised Buikstras graduate training. To Bob Blakely who organized the symposium where this usage of the term bioarchaeology was introduced. To all who came before us, we thank you for opening the door.
