*Understanding zooarchaeology: a short course for archaeology and heritage
professionals and enthusiasts* 13th-15th April 2011
Over three days our team of zooarchaeologists will introduce participants to
the methods that can be used to gather information from archaeological animal
bones and the relevance of these remains to wider archaeological study.
The course is designed for people with little or no previous experience in
zooarchaeology, and is an ideal introduction to the field for archaeologists,
museum curators and other heritage professionals who come across animal bones
and/or zooarchaeological reports in their professional capacity. Through short
lectures, discussions and hands on practical workshops, the course will give
the participants practical experience of zooarchaeological methods and will
help you to understand the archaeological potential and limitations of
zooarchaeology, enhancing your ability to critically interpret archaeological
animal bone data.
For students the short course will provide a firm basis for further training
and
is a great opportunity to improve your employability by broadening the types
of archaeological evidence you have skills in and experience using.
Zooarchaeologists at the early stages of their careers may also be interested.
Tuition fees for the course are £150 waged, £100 unwaged/student/retired.
