Abstract
Corresponds to, and describes in detail, the first three stages of the bioarchaeology of care methodology: Stage 1, which documents the individual, their disease and their lifeways context; Stage 2, which considers the clinical and functional impacts of disease to assess the presence (or otherwise) of disability requiring care; and Stage 3, which develops a model of care based on the interaction between likely disability-related needs and the features of the lifeways context. This chapter also introduces the Index of Care, the online instrument developed to support bioarchaeology of care research. Chapter 6 walks the reader through the reasoning behind the design of the constituent parts of Stage 1-3 analysis and that of the corresponding components of the Index of Care, and discusses how the bioarchaeology of care methodology is applied in practice
