Anthropology 320 - Skeleton Keys:Research Methods

This course offers a "hands on" introduction to the human skeleton as a means to reconstruct the lifeways of past populations. We will learn how to reconstruct the biological profile (e.g. age, sex, health), and various aspects of behavior (e.g. diet, physical activity). Students will work in teams of 2-3 with the skeletal remains from the Italian Medieval site of San Paragorio (11th-16th centuries AD).
