San Diego Archaeological Center

In this lecture, Giselle Király will discuss the power of archaeological human remains, and how, with the right facilitation, they have the ability to promote wellbeing, healing and inclusion. This has been most notable in archaeological sites with military service people, but also seen on sites with people with low mental health, neurodivergence, ADHD, or autism. Giselle will look at sites ranging from Sutton Hoo to World War II, where archaeology, and specifically human remains, have changed peoples lives. This lecture will be held on Zoom.
