abstract="Physical anthropology and bioarchaeology (one of the newer interdisciplinary sub-disciplines) are alive and well in the U.A.E. Older analytical approaches that rely on subjective observations and non-systematic study of human remains are being replaced with more biocultural and processual approaches that integrate biological data from human remains within a broader archaeological and cultural context. With the publication of a major synthetic work based on analysis of the human remains from Jebel al-Buhais, a new era of skeletal analysis in the U.A.E. has been heralded. This short review examines the ways that skeletal analysis can be integrated within broader archaeological contexts.<p />",
