Recent Advances in the Analysis of Human Remains

Module code: ARC6034-B

Explore the application of biomolecular approaches to the study of skeletal remains in forensic and archaeological contexts through the evaluation of current published research. To critically evaluate methods used for: dating skeletal material; for determining positive identification; for distinguishing human from animal bone and for investigating diet, health and mobility. To understand the principles of biomolecular preservation and to evaluate how the state of preservation may affect the reliability and interpretation of biomolecular data.
