Abstract

An innovative researcher in the field of bioarchaeology, Dr. Mary Lewis has conducted pioneering studies into the health and lifestyles of children and adolescents from the Roman and medieval periods and is the author of The Bioarchaeology of Children (Cambridge University Press, 2007) and Paleopathology of Children (Academic Press, 2017). In this lecture, she combines historical accounts with archaeological data from over 3,000 teenaged individuals representing over 150 sites to create a detailed picture of the lives of teenagers in medieval England.
