Synopsis

This little book to colour and learn aims to acknowledge a scientific area that is not well known: biological anthropology, mainly human osteology. Do you know what an anthropologist does on an excavation? How do you estimate the age of a skeleton?... Through colouring illustrations, word soup and curiosities, a window is opened on the mysteries of the human skeleton and what it can tell us about the individual to whom it belonged and about the community in which it lived.

Author Biography

Ano Curto, HERCULES - HERCULES Laboratory - Cultural Heritage, Studies and Safeguarding

Ana Curto discovered her interest in the human skeleton while doing her BSc in Biology at the University of Évora. There she had her first contact with human osteology by volunteering at the Laboratory of Biological Anthropology. This interest led her to the University of Coimbra, where she did a MSc in Human Evolution and Biology. More recently she finished her PhD in Anthropology at the University of Kent, in England. Ana is now a researcher at HÉRCULES Laboratory at the University of Évora, and in the past she participated in several archaeological excavations from different chronologies and in different parts of the country.
