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.

National Archaeology Week

For the last three 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 human osteology can tell us about past populations.

Papers and conferences

The CHB’s staff has also presented many papers at a range of events, both academic and public.

Courses

The Centre has been running a short course on human osteology for the last two years, targeted specifically at the public, with the aim of providing a basic understanding of human skeletal anatomy and human osteology.

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