Aims, contents and method of the course
The aim of the course "Introduction to Bioarchaeology" is to familiarize students with the research field of bioarchaeology in general and to convey the basics of the individual methods and research areas. The main focus is on teaching the theoretical foundations, in selected cases they should also be demonstrated in practice.Schedule:#1 (09. 10. 2023) Einführung: Bioarchäologie: Begriffsdefinitionen, Geschichte des Faches Menschliche Überreste, Einführung in die Taphonomie // Introduction: Bioarchaeology: definitions of terms, history of human remains, introduction to taphonomy (Binder)#2 (16. 10. 2023) Paläodemographie: Alters- und Geschlechtsbestimmung, Theoretische Aspekte // Paleodemography: determination of age and sex, theoretical aspects (Binder)#3 (23.10. 2023) Paläopathologie 1: Allgemeine Stressmarker, Infektions- und Metabolische Erkrankungen, Trauma, Neoplastische Erkrankungen // Palaeopathology 1: General stress markers, infectious and metabolic diseases, trauma, neoplastic diseases (Binder)# 30. 10. 2023 LV entfällt// no lecture#4 (6. 11. 2023) Paläopathologie 2: Aktivität und Belastung // Paleopathology 2: activity and exposure (Pany-Kucera)#5 (13. 11. 2023) Metrische und nicht-metrische Variation am Skelett: Herkunft, Verwandtschaft, Adaption // Metric and non-metric variation on the skeleton: origin, relationship, adaptation (Berner)#6 (20. 11. 2023) Alte DNA: Erforschung der genetischen Geschichte archäologischen Materials // Ancient DNA: studying the genetic history of archaeological material (Cheronet)#7 (27. 11. 2023) Einführung in die Archäobotanik // Introduction to archaeobotany (Heiss)#8 (04. 12. 2023) Einführung in die Archäozoologie // Introduction to zooarchaeology (Kunst)#9 (11. 12. 2023) Menschliche Skelettreste in Museen und Sammlungen// Human skeletal remains in museums and collections (Berner)#10 (08 .01. 2024) Die Archäologie menschlicher Skelettreste // The archeology of human skeletal remains (Binder)#11 (15. 01. 2024) Digitale Methoden in der Archäologie // Digital methods in archaeology (Hagmann)
