About the Grahame Clark Laboratory for Zooarchaeology
The Laboratory and its members enjoy taking an active role in department life. A yearly zooarchaeology course is taught to undergraduate and graduate students; human osteology is taught on a biannual basis. This provides a basic training in faunal and human osteological analysis and forms the basis for future research open to such students through dissertation or project work. The course is supported by the annual experimental butchery practical for zooarchaeologists, Palaeolithic/Mesolithic students and Flint enthusiasts. This provides an opportunity to teach the applications of experimental work within the field of zooarchaeology. Researchers within the laboratory periodically hold seminars on their research such that developments can be seen and a network of support is formed between members. Further to this the laboratory is active within the wider group of zooarchaeologists, attending conferences and presenting work.
