Rachel E. Scott
Rachel E. Scott, Ph.D., is Assistant Professor of Bioarcheology in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. She teaches courses in European Archaeology, Human Osteology, and the Global History of Health. Her research integrates human skeletal, archeological, and historical data to address questions about individual lived experience and community interaction in early Christian and medieval Ireland. Recent publications—including “Key Concepts in Identity Studies” (with Jane E. Buikstra) in Bioarcheology and Identity in the Americas, ed. K. J. Knudson and C. M. Stojanowski (University Press of Florida, 2009) and “Religious Identity and Mortuary Practice: The Significance of Christian Burial in Early Medieval Ireland” in Breathing New Life into the Evidence of Death, ed. A. Baadsgaard, A. Boutin, and J. E. Buikstra (SAR Press, 2011)—discuss and illustrate the relevance of bioarcheological analysis for reconstructing past social lives. In her work on disease, Dr. Scott considers the influence of both biological and social factors on the prevalence and human experience of disease. She is currently investigating the foundation and development of leper hospitals in medieval Ireland, focusing on differences between Anglo-Norman and Gaelic Irish perceptions of and reactions to leprosy. Dr. Scott has served as a national lecturer for the Archeological Institute of America in 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.
