Brace yourself for Stefan Potente's talk! Blunt and sharp force are daily fare in contemporary forensics. Crossbows and sabres have mostly disappeared, but fresh bone injuries still raise questions — especially “fall or assault?” This Friday 16h in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Are you a forensic anthropologist or other biological anthropologist who considers skeletal trauma interpretation part of your skill set? We are running a study (survey, ~15 min) on how practitioners interpret skeletal trauma. It's kinda fun to do! Sharing this with others is much appreciated 🤩
