Dr Michelle Gamble continues the health and disease theme in the guest lecture series, but moving to Çatalhöyük. Archaeologists are familiar with the Neolithic structures and remains from the site, but Michelle will help to shine a light on a less well know period of the ist, focussing on the 1st Millennium AD and the Post-Chalcolithic burials.

Michelle has an undergraduate degree in Classical Archaeology, commercial excavation experience in both the UK and Canada, and has worked on a number of research excavations in the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East and Sudan. While her PhD focussed on the analysis of prehistoric human skeletal remains from Cyprus, she has subsequently examined skeletal material from sites from various time periods in Turkey, Qatar and the UK. Her research interests include health, disease and medicine in the past, mortuary archaeology and the impact of field schools in archaeological pedagogy.

We hope that you will be able to join us in welcoming Micelle to Bradford, and look forward to hearing about a new aspect of the archaeology of Çatalhöyük.
