Course content
HELGA. Human Osteoarchaeology
Archaeologists study the lives of humans in the past, and the study
of human remains is the most direct way to learn about their
experiences. This course will introduce students to the study of
human remains in archaeology, from excavation to laboratory. It
will cover topics such as human skeletal anatomy, sex and age
assessment, identification of general skeletal pathologies, human
remains ethics, and an introduction to scientific methods in
bioarchaeology.
Students will come out of this course with a general understanding
of human remains in archaeology that is useful in future
studies or careers in archaeology and related fields.
