This is a trailer for a three part mini-series entitled "Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future" airing on That Anthro Podcast, Wednesday May 8th.

This series will dive into the history of what was once known as physical anthropology, as well as how various events and shifts in research paradigms have led us to the field of bioarchaeology as it exists today. I will also unpack the prominent methods utilized in bioarchaeological research, and addressing some of the changes that still need to be implemented to make the field even more ethical.

In this series you won’t just hear from me, you’ll hear from some of the researchers themselves regarding their work, their vision for the future, and why bioarchaeology is an important area for continued study. Such guests include Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr. Clark Spencer Larsen, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, Dr. Jessica O’Reilly, Dr. Amy Anderson, and Dr. Haagen Klaus.
