It focuses particularly on the organic remains of humans, animals and plants which is a rapidly developing and exciting field of archaeometry. Major global themes such as animal and plant domestication and human migration and diet will be explored integrating evidence from a range of sub-disciplines in environmental and biomolecular archaeology.
Students taking this course will study and work in a range of environmental, DNA, isotope and dating laboratories alongside expert academic staff.
The aim of this programme is to enable you to:
- Devise and carry out in-depth study in archaeological science
- Analyse and interpret results
- Communicate scientific results to a variety of audiences
- Develop the inter-disciplinary skills (cultural and scientific) to work effectively in archaeology.
