ANTH3524Paleopathology: Ancient Disease in the Human Skeleton3 ch (2S 1L) (W)

Investigate ancient human diseases and their origins through examination of their remains in the archaeological record. Only a few diseases leave their marks on bone and tooth enamel, the most common remnants of ancient populations. Learn how to identify these abnormalities and assess their potential implications for the health of a living person/population, and to interpret the bioarchaeological evidence to gain insight into the health of past populations.
