生物考古学：人类骨骼学 MSc Bioarchaeology: Human Osteology

The MSc Bioarchaeology: Human Osteology at Exeter trains students to identify the bones of the human skeleton and undertake comprehensive analysis of human skeletal remains. The programme combines archaeology with branches of natural sciences and takes an inter-disciplinary approach, drawing on both definitions of bioarchaeology: as applied to human remains and as related to the integration of environmental archaeology with floral and faunal evidence. Students work in a dedicated bioarchaeology laboratory equipped for studying anatomical variation, palaeopathological conditions and the funerary context of human and animal remains, containing anatomical casts and demographic reference standards used to determine sex, age-at-death, stature and body proportions.
