Mortuary Archaeology Field School, Poland 2018
The 20th Field School in Mortuary Archaeology which will be held in Drawsko, Poland, in summer 2018. If you have students interested in excavating human skeletal remains, we would be grateful for letting them know about this opportunity.
The early modern skeletal cemetery at Drawsko, Poland (16th -17th centuries AD) provides a unique opportunity for students to practise bioarchaeology by learning archaeological excavation techniques and working with human osteological material. To date more than 550 inhumations have been excavated, and the skeletal collection includes various evidence of traumatic injury, infectious, degenerative and genetic disease, nutritional deficiency, as well as atypical lesions that have yet to be identified. Every archaeological season in Drawsko brings also discoveries of unusual, anti-demonic burials containing the dead with iron sickles running across their necks.
At the site students are allowed to excavate and document burials by themselves getting hands-on experience. The professional supervision is provided by the international team of instructors from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland, State University of New York, Oneonta, USA, Californa State University, USA, Western Washington University and Slavia Foundation, Lednica, Poland. Excavated bones serve as reference material in osteology courses worth 6 academic credits (ECTS). The language of the Field School is English.
Please find attached a poster of the 20th Field School in Mortuary Archaeology. We will be very honored if you post it on the message board of your Department and/or spread the information about the Field School among the students through email.
