The Pathological Bodies Project by Dr Aoife Sutton-Butler

Welcome to the Pathological Bodies Project Blog

I’m Aoife Sutton-Butler – an archaeological researcher and cemetery registrar interested in death and the dead body.

The Pathological Bodies Project is a blog which derived initially from my doctorate project entitled ‘Pathological Bodies: Specimen Preservation, Death and Display in Britain, 18th -19th Centuries‘ (funded by NECAH/ Heritage Consortium). If you are interested in anything death related, including; archaeology, embalming, history of medicine and disease, then have a read of my blog posts or get in touch on Twitter (@pathbodies) or Instagram (@pathologicalbodies). Feel free to get in contact about public talks!
