Close to the Bone

Discover the stories revealed by the bones of Londoners in this fascinating and truly unique evening workshop. Carefully piece together the hidden histories of people who dwelt in the ancient city at five different periods in time, using only the bones they left behind. Guided by expert forensic anthropologists, excavate and reconstruct five skeletal structures; learn how to determine their sex and age, and examine them for disease and trauma. From a syphilitic Victorian 'lady of the night' to a Georgian gentlemen with more than a few medical conditions, work through the most remarkable puzzle you’ll ever complete. Delivered by Forensic Outreach.
