Juliet joined the rheumatology department of Bristol Royal Infirmary in 1977, where she became the only full time palaeopathologist in a clinical department in the United Kingdom. An international authority on joint diseases in the skeleton, she systematised the classification of joint diseases in human remains and did pioneering work on the erosive arthropathies. She was also renowned for her work on diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). For many years she had studied the 3000 or so skeletons excavated from St Peter's Church in Barton-on-Humber and was preparing the definitive volume on this work at the time of her death. Predeceased by her husband, she leaves two children and a grandson.
