Sharon Clough, Human bone specialist from Cotswold Archaeology, will present a lecture exploring the importance of analysing human bone from archaeological excavations. Her talk will include some of the recent excavations across the Cotswold District and examples from further afield. Human remains are a valuable archaeological resource and can tell us about the life and death of people from the past.
