Dear colleagues,

The Archaeology Department at Durham University is now offering a new
taught Masters (MSc) programme in Human Palaeoecology. This MSc provides
students with the opportunity to study and understand important issues
and materials in this broad field, explored through four key themes: 1)
Environmental Impact and Change, 2) Dispersals and Diasporas, 3)
Palaeoeconomy and Diet, 4) Human Health and Environment.

The MSc uses lecture, laboratory practical, workshop and seminar
sessions for teaching. It consists of two taught core modules (Past
Peoples and Palaeoenvironments & Research & Study Skills in Human
Palaeoecology), a choice of two specialised modules (from Animals and
People, Plants and People or Biomolecular Archaeology & Anthropology)
spread over two terms, and a research dissertation during the third term
over the summer months.

Could you please pass on this information to any students/colleagues who
may be interested in pursuing such postgraduate studies in Durham?
