Archaeological skeletal remains and industrialisation: Lecture by Dr Jelena Bekvalak
Hear from Jelena Bekvalac, Curator of Human Osteology at the Museum of London, who will deliver a lecture on Archaeological skeletal remains and Industrialisation, exploring the impact to London’s health as revealed from the skeletal remains.
The legacy of industrialisation continues today and the skeletal remains of people from the past are able to provide a fascinating insight into its effects and the impact it has had in shaping our health and lives.
The Museum of London curated archaeologically derived human skeletal collections provide an exceptional opportunity for learning about the past, directly from the people who lived and died in London over 2,000 years. Our natural inquisitiveness feeds our desire to know more and to ask questions about people from the past at an individual and collective level. Archaeologically derived skeletal remains provide a rich and invaluable source of contextual information, which enhances the variety and sources of information possible to extract from their analysis.
London has experienced significant changes over the course of time. One such momentous period was the Industrial Revolution and the associated effects of the industrial era, still evident in our working and living environments today. A funded research project, with the Rosemary Green Grant awarded by the City of London Archaeological Trust (CoLAT), enabled the opportunity to ask how industrialisation had affected the health of London, by investigating large numbers of adult skeletal remains from the pre-Industrial and Industrial period, focusing on five themes pertinent to the population today.
