Bright white teeth.

Awkwardly contorted arms. 

Human remains crammed into a grave too short. 

Though this skeleton has been buried for hundreds of years, scientists were quickly able to tell these are the remains of a fifteen year-old European boy, who worked hard during his short life. How could they know his age, his ancestry, or his workload? 

Discover these answers--and find more mysteries--in my new book Written in Bone: Buried Lives of Jamestown and Colonial Maryland.

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

“Readers will be enticed by both the scientific detective work and by the tantalizing mysteries that remain.” –starred, Kirkus


 “Those intrigued by forensics and history will find [Written in Bone] absolutely fascinating.” –starred, Booklist

“Written in Bone casts a magnifying glass on the hardships and realities of colonial life so often romanticized in American lore.” –starred, School Library Journal
