Today, as in the past, climate change has impacted people's health and quality of life. Human bioarchaeology has the potential to shed new light on the physiological health effects of climate change through archaeological human remains, as well as how societies adapted to such climatic variations.
First will be a general introduction to the bioarchaeology of climate change, followed by a tangible case study of the Late Antique Little Ice Age (6-7th c. CE) in Italy, a period marked by substantial cooling, social turbulence, economic disruption, crop shortages, famine, and disease outbreaks, providing insights into human responses, adaptation and resilience.
