Program Overview

This program - not offered at any other Australian University – equips you with the theory and skills required to undertake a scientific study of the past and present of humanity using Archaeology and/or Biological Anthropology perspectives. Students can tailor the program to their own training objectives, through hands-on experience with a variety of world-leading supervising specialists, materials, and fieldwork and laboratory resources. The Archaeological Science stream offers professionally-oriented training and the opportunity to focus on tailored independent research projects. By taking Biological Anthropology courses you will explore human evolution, palaeopathology, bioarchaeology, and forensic archaeology/anthropology.


Major: Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology
This is a Biological Anthropology specialisation which focuses on the study of skeletal biology in bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology/ archaeology. Students will gain skills, knowledge, and training in: reconstructing ancient human lifeways, behaviour, health, and disease using human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts; and identifying recent human remains and estimating time-since and manner of death. This specialisation focuses heavily on skeletal anatomy, structure, variation, and metabolic processes involved in skeletal growth and function in humans and animal models. Students are offered a broad grounding in theory and techniques needed to pursue original research and/ or gain relevant professional skills in areas of bioarchaeology and/or forensic anthropology/archaeology.
