Join the UK's only dedicated course in the archaeological study of animals.
Any consideration of the human past is incomplete without examining the essential roles that animals have played in our economies and societies. On this course you will study archaeological animal remains on a macro and micro scale to investigate what they tell us about how humans and other species have co-existed over the millennia.
The scope of the course is global, equipping you with the knowledge and techniques to study the roles of animals in human societies from the Palaeolithic to the present and around the world. You will have the opportunity to select modules taught by leading academics in both traditional and biomolecular zooarchaeology, and options led by dedicated specialists in evolutionary anatomy, enabling you to master the latest analytical techniques and examine skeletal anatomy.
2:2 or equivalent in Archaeology, Anthropology or a relevant subject.
Graduates in a biological subject will also be considered, as will mature students or those with less conventional qualifications but with relevant experience.
