The role of new scientific developments in the analysis of human skeletal remains for understanding life and death in Roman Britain
During life, our bones and teeth become subtly altered by our physical and social interactions and environment, forming a unique osteobiographical archive. The skeletal remains of past people therefore provide archaeologists with a critical repository of information to explore ancient lives. Scientific techniques of analysis have developed rapidly over the last few decades, helping us unlock increasingly detailed information from the skeleton and providing exciting new insights. This talk will explore some of these developments and how they have improved our understanding of life and death in Roman Britain
PLEASE NOTE: human remains will be shown during this event
