Workshop “So Close and Yet So Far: A Critical Approach to Mobility in the Past” at BSR
Prof. Alessia Nava, Prof. Luca Bondioli, Dr Carmen Esposito (TULAR Project) and others researches organized a workshop hosted by the British School at Rome (BSR) on 2 April 2025 to create a platform for sustained and critical discussion on bioarchaeological approaches to mobility and their potential to address archaeological questions. Congrats to all the partecipants!
