Understanding Zooarchaeology II (2nd-5th/04/2024)
The main aim of Zooarchaeology is to understand the interaction between humans and animals, through the study of animal bone remains from archaeological sites.
Our four-day course is designed to give participants direct experience of analysing and recording faunal assemblages. Using brief theoretical lessons, case-studies, and practical sessions the course will provide participants with experience of the whole range of knowledge and skills required by the discipline, with the opportunity to write a proper zooarchaeological report.
Understanding Zooarchaeology II is more advance than our foundation course in Zooarchaeology (Understanding Zooarchaeology I) as such, a basic knowledge of Zooarchaeology is required (ability to make basic bone identifications of common animal elements and species).
