And here's another way of studying zooarchaeology...... MSc Zooarchaeology at York http://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/postgraduate-study/taught-postgrads/masters-courses/zooarchaeology/ Having run successfully for a number of years, this course has been revised and updated for 2013-14. The course offers an intensive one-year programme in zooarchaeology, suitable as a stand-alone course or as research preparation. New for 2013-14 are a core module *Bone and Bones* and a skills module *Bone Taphonomy*. These modules will deliver an enhanced level of detail in comparative skeletal anatomy and assemblage formation, and complement the existing modules *Exploring the Assemblage* and *Zooarchaeology in Context*. The core and skills material aims to give a full grounding in the theory and practice of zooarchaeology. Alongside the core modules, students take optional modules that tailor the course to individual needs. Our close integration with MSc Bioarchaeology [ http://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/postgraduate-study/taught-postgrads/masters-courses/msc-biological-archaeology/] means that zooarchaeology students can take modules in a range of biomolecular topics, diet, human bones, field archaeology and, in conjunction with the Hull-York Medical School, hard-tissue biology and musculo-skeletal anatomy. Dissertation topics are wide-ranging, often linked to current research projects in the Department or with York Archaeological Trust, and make good use of our lab facilities and comparative collections. Some sources of funding are available, listed at http://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/postgraduate-study/taught-postgrads/fees-funding/ .
