One-week course on the human skeleton for advanced students and professionals in medicolegal fields, rescue services, field archaeology, and museums.
During this one-week hands-on beginners course, we aim to:
- provide participants with a working knowledge of human osteology;
- provide an ethical framework for dealing with human remains;
- provide an overview of the informational value of human remains for different fields, including a brief introduction to biomolecular methods;
- provide hands-on experience with human remains;
- familiarize them with the relevant tools and resources for them to subsequently broaden as well as deepen this knowledge;
- put them in contact with a network of biological anthropologists.
