Osteology Workshop

The osteology workshops will examine skeletal and dental evidence of diseases linked to diet, which were common in the medieval period as well as today. The workshops will include examining human remains from archaeological sites. This winter's workshops will focus on dental diseases, which are caused by starchy and sugary foods, as well as poor oral hygiene.

Open to anybody over the age of 18. Places limited so to register please e-mail youarewhatyouate@leeds.ac.uk or phone 0113 3435071. Refreshments will be available and transport from the Wakefield area is available on request.
