Speaker: Alecia Schrenk

Description:  Biological anthropologists use skeletal remains to understand human behavior across time and space. This presentation will examine the osteological techniques used to create a biological profile by estimating age, sex, stature, and recording individual variation. Participants will learn how these factors are determined through skeletal analysis and the inherent limitations of these methods. The session underscores the integration of osteological methods with practical applications for forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, and paleoanthropology in their unique research goals.
