Dead Bones Do Tell Tales

What can you learn from old bones? A lot more than you think! In this episode, we learn how ancient remains can tell new stories about the societies they come from. Bioarcheologists Ben Schaeffer, Trent Trombley and Jordi Rivera Prince explain how they use remains from all over the world to uncover the lives of people overlooked or misunderstood by history.
