An Introduction to Forensic Archaeology (Accredited Course)

Thursday 22 April 2021, 6.30PM to 9.30pm

Speaker(s): Maria Fontanals-Coll PhD

Forensics have come to the forefront of many academic disciplines of late, and here we will focus on the examination of human remains to learn about the individual concerned and the circumstances of their deposition, looking at how to locate buried evidence, as well as how to recover and record findings. ‘Reading the skeleton’ is a difficult skill to master, but through case studies and the review of analytical techniques, we will offer a solid introduction to all learners. The module will involve some practical sessions but no potential biohazards, and students’ ethical concerns will be taken into account.
