Course objectives:
|
This course is intended for postgraduates/Masters students. The course focuses on skeleton in the field practice and methods of the determination of the essential biological parameters from skeletons. Students will be trained in methods of the reconstruction of bones from fragments, estimation of minimal and maximal number of individuals, documentation of the position and structuring of skeletal elements etc. The methods of the estimation of basic biological parameters are focused on sex, age, body height, and the set of morphological methods describing biodistance between individuals. The field anthropology will be accompanied with studies of the decomposition and taphonomy. This part of the course will allow students to become familiar with the methodological basis of the analysis of human skeleton in the field. The emphasis will be placed on the training of the practical skills in the field.
