Bioarchaeology: Assessing the Present (episode 2 of 3)

This is episode two of three in the Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future series. This episode, Assessing the Present, builds off the previous episode's discussion on the methods bioarchaeologists use, and presents some of the newer, developing methods and technologies that are shaping current research in the field. This episode also dives into some of the important ethical considerations surrounding this type of research, and specifically discusses this as it relates to Native American groups and descendants. Additionally, this episode features interviews with several bioarchaeologists: Dr. Haagen Klaus, Dr. Amy Anderson, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, and PhD student Meg Hardie.
