Events and courses

Since its official launch in 2004, the Centre for Human Bioarchaeology (CHB) has been involved in public outreach on a number of levels through a combination of tours, lectures, academic presentations, conferences, educational workshops and a taught course, 'The Bare Bones'.

Papers and conferences

In 2010, CHB staff will be presenting their research at the American Association of Physical Anthropology meeting and are participating in the 'Health and Medicine in the Graeco-Roman to Medieval Islamic Worlds' weekend school at the University of Oxford; in addition to other seminar and study days in the UK.

Courses

For the past four years, the Centre has been running a short evening, targeted specifically at the public.  The 'Bare Bones' course aims to provide a basic understanding of human skeletal anatomy and palaeopathology.

The Centre aims to build upon this relationship with the public, by continuing these activities and organising more events including further educational workshops, and new exhibitions in conjunction with external groups.

National Archaeology Week

For the last four years, the Centre has taken part in the National Archaeology Day/Week programme, opening up its laboratory to the public and demonstrating how and what bioarchaeology can tell us about past populations.
