What will I learn?
This Osteology Course provides a focused, hands-on introduction to skeletal examination, including determining sex and age at death, assessing ancestry and population links, understanding bone structure and mechanics, and identifying typical diseases and injuries. Participants will learn to evaluate post-mortem changes, utilise supporting tests effectively, and produce robust forensic and archaeological reports based on up-to-date research and ethical guidelines.
