The Diseases Bones Reveal and the Stories They Hide - PBCAS Lecture
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: PBC Main Library, 3650 Summit Blvd. West Palm Beach, FL 33406
Description: With the appropriate context, human skeletal remains offer us direct lines of evidence into past people’s life ways, subsistence strategies, diets, migration patterns, health trends, work activities, interpersonal interactions, social identity, and much more. When we encounter skeletal remains, we literally look into the face of the past. In this talk, we will come face-to-face with past people’s diseases, specifically in South American antiquity. Mr. Chamoun will look at how these diseases impacted how people were treated in the past and what this can say about how they understood themselves and others.
