Peopling the Past: What can we learn from the dead?

This is a special one-day event that will look at what we can learn about past lives and environments from the evidence we can recover from human remains.

Professor Joann Fletcher, Patron of Big Ideas By The Sea and world-famous Egyptologist, Professor Charlotte Roberts and Dr Stephen Buckley will talk about their work with human remains.

We will find out about how advances in aDNA studies, isotope analysis and the deposits on bones and teeth are providing startling insights into health, diet, mobility and genetics.

A final in-conversation chaired by Marie Woods will explore the ethics of studying, storing and exhibiting human remains.This event is part of the Scarborough 400 celebrations.
