This series of 8 online seminars was launched by Project BeFRAIL – Porto in Times of Cholera and War: A Bioarchaeological Approach to Human Frailty, led by CRIA – NOVA FCSH/ IN2PAST researcher Francisca Alves Cardoso, aiming at introducing and contextualizing research related to the study of epidemics and diseases through the assessment of human remains and their contexts.
Foreseeably running until the end of February, 2026, BeFRAIL aims at an holistic and transdisciplinary approach to human frailty in the past, through the assessment of an archaeological site related to the Third Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Carmo) in Porto, Portugal, in use between 1801 to 1869: years of cholera and war.
