Maranda Almy Kles, M.A., M.S.: Bioarchaeology in Sarasota and Beyond
Bioarchaeology has become a more frequently used tool in archaeological interpretation. This is because the human skeleton records everything about us: age, sex, stature, diet, health, cause of death, etc. This information combined with archaeological and historical information can help us better understand the people that created, lived in, and changed the sites and cultures we seek to understand. This talk will highlight the different aspects of the biological profile of a human skeleton and will review an archaeological case from the Sarasota area and show how a combination of forensic techniques, archaeology, and historical analysis can reveal some interesting information about Florida’s past peoples
