Description

This unique masters programme is designed to train students in the social analysis of death, burial, funerary and cemetery archaeology. It will draw from different disciplinary practices to put together a comprehensive survey of physical anthropology, archaeological theory and burial archaeology. Drawing from sociology, social anthropology, tourism, history and archaeology this course will introduce its students to a wide range of topics; from death and burial amongst hunter-gatherer communities to the spatial analysis of funerary areas and the ethics of displaying human remains in museums. Individual modules are designed to provide students with a wide range of possibilities and experiences onto which they can develop their own independent research projects. Each module is assessed entirely through coursework and designed around small seminar groups, presentations and in-depth discussions.
