生物考古学 Bioarchaeological Science (MSc)

Bioarchaeological Science is at the forefront of the scientific study of the human past. This programme incorporates the study of human osteoarchaeology and palaeopathology along with the advanced study of human remains through genetic and isotopic analysis. You will learn the latest scientific techniques for the extraction, analysis and presentation of DNA, protein, stable isotope and lipid data. Through lectures, seminars and practical workshops, you will learn how biomolecular evidence is preserved, extracted and analysed by bioarchaeologists, and how this data further enhances the information available to archaeologists, evolutionary biologists and palaeoecologists.
