Osteoarchaeology

Osteoarchaeology is the study of human and animal bones found at archaeological sites. By examining these remains, researchers can uncover insights about past populations, including their health, diets, lifestyles, and burial practices. The analysis of bone structure, wear patterns, and isotopes allows scientists to reconstruct historical narratives and understand how ancient societies lived and interacted with their environments. This field bridges archaeology and anthropology, providing valuable information about human evolution, culture, and the relationship between people and their surroundings over time.
