Trish Biers

I am an archaeologist who specialises in human remains from mortuary contexts. I teach about death and burial rites across cultures and through time. My other research interests include the study of ancient diet & disease, gender and the dead, Memento Mori, ethics of human remains for study and display, and Calavera art. You can follow me on Twitter for all things death, relics, and the occasional skeleton-related treasure that I cannot resist sharing.
