Finding Richard: Turi King and Mathew Morris (2014)

Skull of Richard III. University of Leicester.

The event Finding Richard: Turi King and Mathew Morris (2014) was held on February 5, 2014 as part of the Talks and Screenings at the Folger at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation. Following the amazing discovery of the remains of King Richard III, geneticist Turi King and fieldwork director Mathew Morris, both part of the Greyfriars Project that discovered Richard's body, spoke on the archaeological dig and verification by DNA research. Buried for centuries, Richard's body was discovered in September 2012 beneath a parking lot in Leicester, England.

Presented in association with St. Louis University and with support from the British Council.
