Recent Research & Activities
Jared Beatrice is a biological anthropologist specializing in the assessment of physiological stress and disease from the human skeleton. His research interests focus on reconstructing aspects of health status and living conditions in both ancient and modern populations. Dr. Beatrice has conducted bioarchaeological fieldwork in Albania, Greece, and Italy, and currently focuses on the analysis of human skeletal remains recovered from the historic cemetery (ca. 1702-1859) of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is also a member of an interdisciplinary research team investigating the biological consequences of structural violence in undocumented migrants who die while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Dr. Beatrice is a member of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
