Lecture: Vulnerable Bodies of Antiquity. A Look from Osteoarchaeology. By Núria Armentano, PhD in Biological Anthropology, and technician at the Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia.

We explore the vulnerability of individuals in contexts of slavery and inequality in antiquity, based on skeletal evidence. Through the analysis of skeletons, we can examine indicators of health, physical stress, trauma and living conditions that allow us to approach the daily experiences of the most vulnerable people.

Anthropological remains thus become direct witnesses of structural inequalities, revealing how social and economic subordination can translate into physical and biological vulnerability.

Conference organized within the framework of the XXI Magna Celebratio, the Roman festival of Badalona.
