Fractures, infections, osteoarthritis... what if skeletons could talk?
At the crossroads of archaeology and medicine, paleopathology studies the traces left by disease and trauma on ancient human bones.
At the crossroads of archaeology and medicine, paleopathology studies the traces left by disease and trauma on ancient human bones.
Much like crime scene investigators, paleopathologists investigate... but they focus on cold cases that are thousands of years old.
Through concrete examples from recent prehistory in the Rhône-Alpes Auvergne region, this lecture will show you how we can reconstruct the health of populations from the past.
Accidents, diseases, lifestyles: bones hold many secrets that modern science is gradually uncovering.
A fascinating dive into the past... where we learn that bodies have always spoken. We just had to learn to listen to them.
By Michel Billard, Doctor of Medicine and Science, author of a thesis on the paleoepidemiology of osteoarthritis in Neolithic and protohistoric osteoarchaeological series from Auvergne.
This conference is organised by the association Archéologie Préhistorique entre Saône et Rhône as part of the European Archaeology Days.
