The Virtual Oxford Science Cafe program can be seen on Zoom beginning at 6 p.m. Carolyn Freiwald<\/strong>, UM associate professor of anthropology, and Lexi O’Donnell<\/strong>, a visiting assistant professor in the UM Department of Sociology and Anthropology<\/strong>, will discuss “Archaeological Science: Our Teeth Tell (Migration) Tales.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Archaeologists reconstruct the past in multiple ways, using novel scientific techniques, historic records, oral traditions and artifacts,” O’Donnell said. “Dr. Freiwald and I will talk about our research on ancient migration in northern New Mexico and today’s Mexico City 800 years ago using the biological and chemical differences in human teeth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions to be addressed during the 45-minute podcast include: Who were migrants in Tlalnepantla, Mexico? What happened to the Gallina people in northern New Mexico when their homes were abandoned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dental morphology and isotopic analysis are key forensic techniques that answer questions posed by historical records and oral traditions,” Freiwald said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
