Biography
Jo joined the University of Bradford in 2004. She leads the MSc Human Osteology and Palaeopathology, is the Director of Studies for the School of Archaeological and Forensic Sciences and the Head of the Biological Anthropology Research Centre (BARC).
Jo’s research focuses on archaeological, osteological and palaeopathological analysis of human remains dating to the Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods. She is particularly interested in the relationship between osteological indicators of identity and burial practices, and in the mortality and morbidity of individuals buried within different contexts, geographical areas and chronological periods. She has specialised in the analysis of peri-mortem trauma relating to both interpersonal violence and judicial execution. Jo has also researched the application, refinement and development of methods of sex assessment and age estimation from human skeletal remains.
