Step 1: I advise completing the readings first. It will be easier to response to the questions below if you
have reviewed the theory and concepts for this week.
Step2: Watch the two short videos posted in OWL as part of this discussion activity (<20 minutes total).
Consider the “THINK” prompts as you watch. You do not have to answer the prompts, but your
reflection should inform your answers in the final step.
Question 1: What aspects of social identity are revealed by interpreting the Maya figurine
depicted in the video, and what are the limitations of this interpretation? (Aim for ~100 words in
your response but it is okay to go over).
Question 2: What steps could bioarchaeologists take to build on the traditional method of
recording disease in ancient skeletons in order to share a deeper understanding of lived
experiences of illness in the past? (Aim for ~100 words in your response but it is okay to go
over).
