Using Bones to Unlock the Past
- Location: Knicely Conference Center
- Time: 11:30am - 1:30pm
Bioarcheology analyzes human remains excavated from archaeological sites to
understand their life histories. By examining the skeleton, characteristics such as sex,
ancestry, height, and age at death can often be determined. Bones may also provide
evidence of disease and trauma. Using burials from a medieval Danish cemetery, this
presentation follows the steps used to make these determinations and the methods
used to unlock the stories of people who lived more than 500 years ago
