- This book will form a key text for future research on the bioarchaeology of leprosy. As a single authored monograph ca. 400 pages in length, it synthesizes evidence for leprosy from the disciplines of bioarchaeology, history and anthropology and is reshaping our understanding of the disease, and its emergence and spread on a global scale. The book evolved from a two-year Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship and a further period of research leave, and thus represents the culmination of Roberts’ research on leprosy undertaken over a period of more than 20 years.
