The Museum of London is fortunate to have 6500 skeletons of past Londoners in its care, with large numbers existing for the Roman, medieval and Georgian periods. Each of these skeletons provides researchers with extraordinary information about Londoners' lives through the ages.
London Bodies tells this amazing story; in showing how the stature, health, diet and appearance of our ancestors have all changed over time, this book uncovers a fascinating and hitherto hidden portrait of the life of a city.
