本课程着重研究在其葬礼背景下的考古人类遗骸。它建立在学院在人类骨学和古病理学方面的广泛研究以及领域考古学，考古学，分子考古学和考古学生物地球化学的相关研究专业知识的基础上。本课程强烈强调将生物学和考古学证据相结合，以解决以问题为导向的研究主题，并运用科学方法来揭示人类的过去。它提供了有关鉴定和分析人体遗骸的高级指导，可用于理解人体骨骼形态变异的技术和方法，以及评估影响骨骼的病理条件的手段。该课程提供了我们享誉全球的参考资料收藏集（布拉德福德人类遗物收藏集），在学校实验室中的动手经验以及大量的个人研究论文。
This course emphasises the study of archaeological human remains within their funerary context. It builds upon the School's extensive research in human osteology and palaeopathology and related research expertise in field archaeology, archaeozoology, molecular archaeology and archaeological biogeochemistry. The course strongly emphasises the integration of biological and archaeological evidence to address problem-orientated research themes and the application of scientific methods to unravelling the human past. It provides advanced instruction in the identification and analysis of human remains, the techniques and methods applied to understanding human skeletal morphological variation, and the means by which to assess pathological conditions affecting the skeleton. The course provides access to our world renowned collection of reference material (The Bradford Human Remains Collection), hands-on experience in the School's laboratories, and a substantial individual research dissertation. The course can be used either as vocational training or, for the MSc, as a foundation from which to commence further research. The course is normally offered on a full-time basis but a part-time route is feasible as well. Individual modules are available to candidates wishing to enhance their specialist knowledge in a particular area.
