We will have daily lab exercises where students work with plastic skeletal remains and learn how to identify bones and recognize signs of trauma and disease. Throughout the course, we'll also discuss the proper procedure used to collect skeletal elements from a potential crime scene or archaeological excavation, and examine the ethical issues involved when working with human skeletal remains.
