理学硕士——人类骨骼考古学

专业介绍

Human skeletal remains are the most direct evidence of past lifeways and their scientific investigation gives unique insights into human history. Bioarchaeology, also known as osteoarchaeology (the study of archaeological human remains), is a subdiscipline of biological anthropology. It is an exciting interdisciplinary field that draws on a variety of techniques, ranging from visual examination of the whole skeleton to the biomolecular analysis of small bone samples. Demographic shifts, environmental changes, migrations, lifestyles, numerous diseases and the impact of violence and conflict all leave traces on the skeleton.

This MSc provides the skills required to understand skeletal biographies, how to apply social theory and interpret human remains within in their cultural context at both an individual and a population level. Combining theoretical learning with hands-on practice, Edinburgh will provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential to the handling and analysis of specimens recovered from archaeological sites.
