Abstract
As a discipline that bridges the biological and social sciences, bioarchaeology has much to contribute to a contextualized and theoretically sophisticated understanding of social identities. Here, we discuss the growing methodological sophistication of bioarchaeology and highlight new developments in osteological age and sex estimation, paleodemography, biodistance analysis, biogeochemistry, and taphonomy, particularly anthropologie de terrain. We then discuss how these methodological developments, when united with social theory, can elucidate social identities. More specifically, we highlight past and future bioarchaeological work on disability and impairment, gender identity, identities of age and the life course, social identity and body modification, embodiment, and ethnic and community identities.

We first thank Drs. T. Douglas Price and Gary M. Feinman for the invitation to contribute this article. In addition to constructive comments from the editors, this article also benefited greatly from six anonymous reviewers and the editorial skills of Linda Nicholas; we gratefully acknowledge their suggestions. The faculty and students of the Center for Bioarchaeological Research (CBR) in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University have inspired and contributed greatly to our approach to bioarchaeology. In particular, we thank CBR core and affiliated faculty Drs. Brenda Baker, Jane E. Buikstra, Christopher Carr, Rachel E. Scott, Gary Schwartz, Kate Spielmann, and Anne Stone. We also thank the Arizona State University undergraduate and graduate students who participated in the first author’s “Bioarchaeology and Empires” and “Human Behavior through Bone Chemistry” courses and in “The Bioarchaeology of Identity,” co-taught by the authors, for their thought-provoking discussions and scholarship. Finally, the exciting current and future work we discuss here would not be possible without the previous decades of theoretical and methodological innovations, and for that we very gratefully acknowledge our mentors and colleagues in bioarchaeology for all they have contributed to the field.
