On today’s edition of the podcast, Lauren McIntyre (Oxford Archaeology) takes us through her work in commercial archaeology. How do commercial archaeology projects get started and what sorts of analyses do commercial archaeology clients commission? How can we recognize conditions like leprosy on historical skeletons? What different information can osteologists acquire from studying skeletal populations and individuals? Is it easy to enter the field of commercial archaeology work?
