Real People in the Ancient World and the People who Study Them
In this instalment of the Peopling the Past Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Efthymia Nikita, an assistant professor in bioarchaeology at the Science and Technology and Archaeology and Culture Research Centre.
Listen in, as Dr. Nikita gives us an overview on the methods used in bioarchaeological research, the ways in which we can differentiate biological sex in the archaeological record and what we can learn about the lives of women through an analysis of their bones.
Today we continue to explore modern constructions of east and west with Thierry Petit, who discusses the origins and significance of the Sphinx in the ancient Mediterranean.
In this week’s Peopling the Past blog post, we present you with another graduate feature. This week we are highlighting the work of Caroline Barnes, a PhD student researching the use of ashlar masonry in Late Bronze Age Cyprus.
In this instalment of our graduate student feature, we hear from Amanda Gaggioli, whose work focuses on human-environment relationships with respect to earthquakes and associated seismic phenomena in the Greco-Roman world.
