This 12-credit specialization provides undergraduate students with education in bioarchaeology, which involves the recovery and examination of human bones from archaeological contexts, using a comprehensive approach.
Our Anthropology Department maintains an extensive skeletal collection in the Bioarchaeology Laboratory, where both professors and students perform studies aligning with the department's key research focuses on health, social identity, and political systems. Skeletal remains serve as a valuable resource for investigating both biological and cultural aspects of human diversity.
