"It's In Our Bones: A Biological Microhistory of Identity and Community in Ancient Boliva"
Using research from Cooperation and Hierarchy in Ancient Bolivia: Building Community with the Body, Sara Juengst, Ph.D. discusses how ancient Bolivians organized their communities through several notable sociocultural and environmental changes, as reflected through disease, diet, and trauma on human skeletal remains. This Personally Speaking lecture asks, how can burials and skeletons teach us about the lives of past people and how their societies shifted in the face of environmental, social, and economic change? │ chess.charlotte.edu
