ABOUT
What you will study
As part of a PhD programme you will attend general training events; you will also discuss with your supervisors what extra training you might need to complete your project (such as literature search techniques, statistical analysis, or specific instrumental analysis techniques), which will be reviewed annually. You might also need to complete training or assessment criteria associated with your funding body.
Research within the School of Archaeological and Forensic Sciences is organised around three themes:
- Social and biological identities
- Archaeological and heritage sciences
- Landscape and settlement archaeology
Individual topics vary considerably within these broad themes.
Examples of recent or current subject areas are listed below to give an idea of the range of themes that have been studied within the School:
- Geochemical analysis of Doggerland sediments
- Disarticulated human remains analysis
- Faunal assemblages in funerary rites in prehistoric Scotland
- Stable isotope analysis to reconstruct children’s early life history
- Defining the geomagnetic field in the first millennium AD
- Integrating remote sensing and geophysical survey techniques
- Differential decomposition in burial micro-environments
- Raman spectroscopy to investigate gout in archaeological samples
- Use of UV light to locate human remains
- The return of cultural artefacts or human remains to indigenous communities
