*Resumo curto / Short abstract*
The concept of Bone Matters results from the growing concern about the use
of human osteological material. It seeks to highlight the biological
component associated with the study of human bone tissue, valuing its
importance as a vector of theoretical discussion regarding the human being
study in several interconnected contexts.



*Resumo longo / Long abstract*
The concept of Bone Matters has its origin in the growing concern about the
use of human osteological material recovered in various contexts, from
archaeological, active (and non-active) modern cemeteries, forensic
contexts, collections of anatomy museums, among others. The aim of this
concept, is firstly, to enhance the biological analysis associated to the
study of human osteological remains – with a focus on biological material
that makes up the bone tissue, their development and interaction with the
environment (internal and / or external to the individual) – this point is
central to the justification of the use of human bone material in various
disciplinary and scientific contexts; on the other hand the concept of Bone
Matters, seeks to value and emphasize the importance of the study of bone
tissues/remains while a theoretical vector of discussion regarding the
study the human being in his/her context (social, cultural and
environmental), its use as an object of curricula contents, culture and
teaching practices, their role in the construction of cultural policies and
practices, as well as ethical issues of access to human remains and their
commodification and tourism potential. Both approaches are interconnected,
deserving special attention in several disciplines.
