Research project
Bone Under the Microscope
This project unites these two perspectives by taking a deep dive into the microstructure of historic Dutch bones. We will study human skeletal remains curated at the Faculty of Archaeology by micro-CT scanning them at LUMC facilities. With detailed micro-CT scans, we can examine bone quality in the early modern Netherlands (1650-1850) and compare that to bone quality today.
