ANT 295-03 - Special Topic: Human Osteology

4 credits (Spring)

This class explores the human skeleton as a means of reconstructing past lives through the archaeological and forensic record. Students will study human skeletal remains as a means of identifying many variables, such as age-at-death, sex, trauma, health and disease, diet, biological relationships, and activity patterns. These issues will be explored at the level of individuals (forensics) and populations (bioarchaeology). This course fulfills the Biological Anthropology subfield requirement.
