Since 2012, within the ADES laboratory, the BONES team has been studying the bone and developing research on all its biological and social aspects in ancient and current societies.

Revealing the past through bone

Headed by Prof. Pascal Adalian, the main speaker in the La Provence feature, it brings together PhD students, research engineers, researchers, teacher-researchers, hospital practitioners and experts from the biological, human, social and medical sciences. Their aim? To understand the specificities and technical and biological characteristics of bone material, as well as the social, funerary, scientific or patrimonial uses to which the anthropo-biological remains may be put.

The report by journalist Julien Danielides sheds light on an expertise that sets this team apart: collaborating with law enforcement during investigations, in order to restore the identity of bodies discovered by the police.
