Course summary

This course emphasises the study of archaeological human remains within their funerary context. It builds upon the School of Archaeological and Forensic Sciences' extensive research in human bioarchaeology and palaeopathology and related research expertise in field archaeology, archaeozoology, molecular archaeology and archaeological biogeochemistry. The course strongly emphasises the integration of biological and archaeological evidence to address problem-orientated research themes and the application of scientific methods to unravelling the human past. It provides advanced instruction in the identification and analysis of human remains, the techniques and methods applied to understanding human skeletal morphological variation, and the means by which to assess pathological conditions affecting the skeleton. The course provides access to our world-renowned collection of reference material (The Biological Anthropology Research Centre curates over 5,000 individuals), hands-on experience in the School's laboratories, and a substantial individual research dissertation. The course can be used either as vocational training or as a foundation from which to commence further research. The course is normally offered on a full-time basis but a part-time route is also feasible. Individual modules are available to candidates wishing to enhance their specialist knowledge in a particular area.
