Human bone as an irrefutable carrier of information: Exploring Bronze-Iron Age collective burials through a new methodology Through the bioarchaeological study of human skeletal remains, it is possible to reconstruct the lifestyle of ancient societies. This research involves excavations using contemporary techniques, documentation of anthropological findings, and accurate diagnosis. Ruzan Mkrtchyan, Associate Professor at the Chair of Cultural Studies, YSU Faculty of History, can determine the anthropological type of a given period, restore the appearance of individuals, and characterize the hereditary connections they had with neighboring tribes. In her research, YSU associate professor has concluded that the inhabitants of the Sevan Basin during the Bronze-Iron Age were locals. She is currently studying the Bronze-Iron Age collective burials of the Sevan Basin with her research team.
