Dear colleagues,
The Zooarchaeology Team of the University of Sheffield is glad to announce that the Understanding Zooarchaeology II and Exploring Palaeoenviron
Understanding Zooarchaeology II short course (11th-13th September 2017) will be ideal for those who already have a basic knowledge of Zooarchaeology and want to learn more. The aim of this advanced course is to give participants direct experience in analysing and recording faunal assemblages from archaeological sites. It will also provide participants with experience in practising with the most specialized issues of the discipline such as identification of sheep from goat and deer from cattle. Sessions include brief theoretical lessons, followed by dedicated practical activity. At the end of the three days, participants are encouraged to write a zooarchaeological report based on the material analysed during the course, which will receive a feedback from an expert zooarchaeologist.
The Exploring Palaeoenvironments short course (14th-15th September 2017) runs for the second time this year and is the result of the joint efforts of zooarchaeologists, archaeobotanists and geoarchaeologists from our department. The course will introduce participants to the different approaches and types of analyses employed by specialists of these related sub-disciplines. Each session will include theoretical lectures and case-studies; in addition, practical classes will provide direct experience of handling, analysing and interpreting the material evidence that archaeologists usually deal with. The Exploring Palaeoenvironments short course is directed to students, professionals and enthusiasts alike and does not require any previous knowledge of the disciplines covered.

£200 (standard rate)/£140 (student/unwaged rate)
Exploring Palaeoenvironments:
