Environmental archaeology - methodological specialisation 15 credits

About the course

The course provides an opportunity for in-depth methodological knowledge within an environmental archeological research area or analysis complex. This may involve specialization in, for example, archaeobotany, insect analysis, geoarchaeology or archaeometry, all depending on available teaching skills. This includes studies of basic work and applications in the field and laboratory. Through practical exercises, with supervised analysis work in the lab and your own, problem-based project work, the skills are practiced in the chosen area.
