Caring Through Time: Bioarchaeology of Care for the Disabled (998 words)For millennia, archaeologists have meticulously pieced together the stories of the past through artifacts, architecture, and skeletal remains. However, a significant portion of the population has been largely overlooked: disabled and/or impaired individuals. Traditionally portrayed as liminal figures, shrouded in narratives of despair and neglect, they often vanish from the historical record (Doat, 2017). This skewed perspective results in an incomplete understanding of past societies, neglecting the rich tapestry of human experience that includes disability.A Missing Voice in the PastThe archaeological record can be unforgiving to those who don't fit the mold of the "healthy" and "able-bodied." Skeletal evidence of disabilities like blindness, deafness, or mobility impairments is often overlooked or misinterpreted. Additionally, the emotional framing of disability in past societies, emphasizing "despitness" and "dread" (Metzler, 2013), leads to a focus on individual suffering rather than the social context of care and support.

In a world dominated by sight and sound, Dr. Professor Sartre takes us on a captivating olfactory adventure in his book, "The World Through Your Nose: Unveiling the Secrets of Smell." This fascinating exploration delves into the often-overlooked sense of smell, revealing its surprising power and intricate workings. Dr. Sartre, a renowned expert in sensory perception, sheds light on the science behind olfaction, the biological process of smell. He dismantles the myth of a simple "sniff" and unveils the complex interplay between odor molecules, the olfactory system, and the brain. "The World Through Your Nose" explores how our sense of smell shapes our perception of the world around us. Dr. Sartre delves into the connection between smell and memory, emotion, and even human behavior. He explains the role of pheromones in communication and the science behind the fragrance and flavor industry. The book doesn't just inform; it opens doors to new possibilities. Dr. Sartre explores the potential applications of olfactory science in various fields, from treating smell disorders to enhancing our understanding of human health. He even touches on the concept of olfactory training, hinting at the potential to improve our sense of smell. "The World Through Your Nose" is a captivating read for anyone curious about the hidden world we perceive through smell. Dr. Sartre's work is a sensory awakening, inviting us to appreciate the profound and often-underestimated role of smell in shaping our experiences.
