Welcome
Nancy
Lovell (PhD Cornell, 1987) is Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts at the
University of Alberta. A biological anthropologist, she is interested
in the skeletal biology of ancient peoples, particularly how their
skeletons reveal aspects of the interrelationships between culture,
environment, and health. She also has conducted research on the
assessment of biological affinities of past populations and on methods
of osteobiography (e.g., age estimation and sex determination).
She has excavated ancient cemeteries in Egypt and Pakistan, and
has studied human skeletal remains from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia,
and the Indus Valley Civilization, and from historic cemeteries
of the Fur Trade Period in western Canada. A continuing interest
is the expression of trauma and disease in the skeletal remains
of free-living apes and monkeys and how this reflects social behaviour
and may inform our understanding of selective pressures in primate
and hominid evolution. Most recently, she has begun a study of historic
cemeteries in western Canada, in
order to assess the fit between archaeological interpretive models
for prehistoric cemeteries with the documented evidence for burial
practices.
Professor
Lovell teaches courses on the excavation, curation, and analysis
of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites, the study of
diseases in antiquity, human osteology, and introductory biological
anthropology. Please see "Courses" for detailed information on current course offerings.
