This course will provide an introduction the bioarchaeological analysis of human skeletal remains. It will cover the basics of human anatomy and taphonomy and give an insight into the information about life in the past that can be gained from human remains as well as the methods necessary to extract them. During practical sessions students will learn about correct handling of skeletal material and will get the opportunity to apply basic methods of bioarchaeological analysis.This course aims at providing students with a basic knowledge about the potential of human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts in informing research into the past as well as about modern scientific methods available for research. It will further raise awareness to the correct handling and treatment of human skeletal material.
