Bioarchaeologistsusethisinformationtolearn about life in past human societies. To explore these topics, take Social Bioarchaeology!听 This course will include hands-on activities that teach you how bioarchaeologists build profiles of individuals from their skeletons and how we analyze data. We will read original research about reconstructions of past lives and how health and well-being were affected by things like gender, social age, migrant status, and social status across different time periods and in different cultures. We will also explore the ethical issues associated with studying human remains.
