The Forgotten Women of Dorset's Past: an introduction to how bones can help us understand the stories of everyday women lost to history. Five women, from five different places and times, each with a tale to tell. Using osteobiographical techniques such as facial approximation and radiocarbon dating we are able to reconstruct these stories piece by piece.
