\nGetting to Know Better the People of the Middle Ages New Perspectives from Bioarchaeology, Archaeogenetics and Archaeothanatology
\nIt is impossible to present a synthesis here of the important research already done based on bioarchaeological, bioanthropological studies and in the field of population genetics. In this sense, in this conference we will limit ourselves to presenting through some selected examples, among the enormous volume of existing works, the possibilities and limits that biomolecular and bioarchaeological research offers for a more real and objective approach to the people who lived in the Middle Ages. Our aim is to highlight how Science can help historians, through analytical methods regarding issues such as geographical origin, migration, social mobility, kinship, diet, disease and in the same way address questions such as ethnicity, identity, gender issues, social minorities and even disability, social inequality and the degree and type of violence in daily life of medieval societies.
