Bioarchaeology and Osteology in Polis


Just a quick note about what my roommate is currently researching in Princeton University's Cyprus collection! Part of the excavation included a medieval church with Christian tombs. Among the burials, Katelyn Bolhofner and Brenda Baker discovered the remains of what appears to be a leper - the first to be found on the island of Cyprus. The skeletal collection is immense, giving an additional perspective of the site and those who occupied it during the Byzantine era.
