The MSc in Human Osteoarchaeology focuses on the scientific investigation of human skeletal remains to interpret past lifeways, drawing on techniques from visual skeletal examination to biomolecular analyses. The programme aims to train students to identify human remains, analyse skeletal pathology, quantify and analyse scientific data, understand skeletal biographies, apply social theory, and interpret remains in their cultural context at individual and population scales. Teaching combines theoretical learning with extensive hands-on practice, including access to the School’s Scottish skeletal collections and practical coursework. Typical taught components include Human Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy, Analytical Methods in Human Osteoarchaeology, Quantitative Methods and Reasoning in Archaeology, Skeletal Pathology, Bioarchaeological Analysis and Interpretation, and Research Sources and Strategies in Bioarchaeology. Research areas covered by staff include bioarchaeology/osteoarchaeology, palaeopathology, interpersonal violence, experimental bioarchaeology, ethics and legislation, historical bioarchaeology, childhood, palaeodiet, identity, human–environment interactions, transitions to farming, development of complex societies, and social and health inequalities in the past.
