Course Overview

  • Animal bones and human remains are among the most common finds in archaeological excavations of all periods.

  • The archaeological profession has an increasing need for staff with osteoarchaeological training to assist in interpreting archaeological sites and understanding the human experience in the past, particularly their relationship with animals.

  • Choose one of two specialist pathways within the overall context of bioarchaeology.

  • MSc Bioarchaeology (Anthropology) – provides opportunities to understand the deeper human past and is ideal if you intend to pursue a doctoral-level study of human evolution. 

  • MSc Bioarchaeology (Osteoarchaeology) – allows you to engage in more advanced study of non-human faunal remains. Practical experience with the methods and techniques used for recording and analyzing osteological remains is embedded throughout the course.
