SUMMARY:(Bio)Archaeological Approaches to Disease and Death in Early Medieval France
DESCRIPTION:<p>	<strong>Our world has changed.</strong> The Covid-19 <strong>pandemic</strong> has reshaped the way we think about diseases, their transmission, and their impact on our lives. But are we the first to face such a crisis?</p><p>	A shrinking written record marks past pandemics. But the victims remain, and from their <strong>strange burials</strong> and <strong>ancient DNA</strong>, the <strong>Science of the Human Past</strong> has begun to reconstruct what happened, in <strong>France</strong> and across western Eurasia, during the <strong>first pandemic of bubonic plague</strong> in the <strong>Roman Empire</strong> and its neighbors from 541 to 750 AD.</p><p>	Come and be <strong>a part of the launch</strong> of a pioneering <strong>international investigation</strong> of anomalous burials in <strong>France</strong> that take us back to that <strong>first pandemic</strong>. Learn what <strong>French archaeologists</strong> and the <strong>Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for Archaeoscience’</strong>s biomolecular archaeologists are discovering today.</p><p>	<strong>Join us</strong> and our <strong>expert archaeologists</strong> in a new <strong>transatlantic collaboration</strong> that brings <strong>together Harvard University,</strong> the <strong>Max Planck-Harvard Research Center</strong> for Archaeoscience and the <strong>advanced research of France</strong>. </p><p>	<strong>Hybrid In-Person and Remote Event!
