How was life in the Mycenaean World? Whom did they marry, what did they eat and what did they suffer from? For a long time, these questions were almost impossible to answer. Now, archaeoscience has revolutionized our understanding about the past – including, robustly, for the Bronze Age Mediterranean world with its limited written record. Please join SoHP and MHAAM for a special presentation by Philipp Stockhammer, Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology, Ludwig Maximilian University (Munich) and Deputy Director, Max Planck-Harvard Research Center for the Archaeoscience of the Ancient Mediterranean (MHAAM). Prof. Stockhammer will present the latest published and unpublished insights into ancient Aegean food and family relations as well as the oldest infectious diseases ever traced scientifically in the Aegean.
