ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 3.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

The aim of the lectures is to familiarize students with the basic techniques of working with skeletal material: gender, age, metric and nonmetal skeletal and skeletal features, reconstruction of selected body parameters, evaluation of skeletal determinants of environmental stress. The purpose of the course is to bring the environmental impact to the human skeleton and to reconstruct the biological characteristics of the individual on the basis of the skeleton and the morphological response to the living conditions of the prehistoric populations.
Full description:

Topics:

1) Organization of classes. Termini generalis; axes and plane of the body. Structure, functions, and bone division

2) Skeletal Anatomy - Skull.

3) Anatomy of the skull - skull (c.d.).

4) Anatomy of the skeleton - postcranial skeleton.

5) Bone anatomy - postcraniall skeleton (c.d.).

6) Skeletal sex assessment.

7) Skeletal age rating of an adult.

8) Skeletal assessment of the child's age.

10-11) Skeletal environmental stressors (cribra orbtalia, Harris lines, enamel hypoplasia, selected activity markers)

12-13) Selected skeletal pathologies and selected issues in the field of human bone tissue tafonomics.

14) Reconstruction of height and weight based on skeletal features.

15) Summary.
