ANT 4330 - Bioarchaeology

Institution:

Appalachian State University

Subject:

Description:

Bioarchaeology is the holistic, interdisciplinary, and epidemiological analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts. In this course, we will survey topics including age and sex estimation, paleo-demography, biocultural stress markers, pathology and trauma, levels of physical activity and evidence for habitual behavior, and paleodietary analyses. Beyond learning methods of bioarchaeology, students will be given the opportunity to understand the development of interpretive frameworks from evolutionary and biocultural theory. These frameworks will be examined critically and applied to case studies from human populations in different geographical and temporal contexts. (MULTI-CULTURAL; NUMERICAL DATA) (ND Prerequisite: passing the math placement test or successful completion of MAT 0010.)
