While we usually think of archeology in terms of what it can tell us about the culture and practices of ancient peoples, our speaker will talk about examining ancient human remains to learn about their wellness and illnesses.
Dr. Rachel K. Wentz graduated from Florida State University with a PhD in Anthropology and specializes in the analysis of human remains with foci on ancient disease and population health. Her master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation analyzed bone-fracture frequencies among bones at a 7,000-year-old site in Titusville. She is East Central Region Director of Florida Public Archaeology Network, and she serves on the Brevard County Historical Commission.
