The programme gives you the freedom to choose your own focus based on your own interests. You may study Archaeobotany and Archaeozoology, or prefer to dive into Human Osteoarchaeology. You may rather explore material culture, or further develop your skills in digital archaeology. All of these choices can be combined with lectures on specific regions or time periods.

profielen
profiel Archaeobotany and Archaeozoology
Archaeobotany and archaeozoology focuses on a variety of palaeo-zoological and palaeo-botanical topics (including aDNA and isotopes), ranging in age from the Palaeolithic to historical periods.
The programme revolves around palaeo-environmental or palaeo-economical questions as well as evolutionary aspects of faunal or floral communities, and the evolution of species.
profiel Human osteoarchaeology
Topics discussed in this Career Profile include: stable isotope analysis, biomechanical analyses, paleodemography, metric and non-metric variation, estimation of sex and age, taphonomic changes, etc.
Students are encouraged to formulate a research question that is novel, reproducible, and of interest to the wider osteoarchaeological community.
The Faculty of Archaeology houses several skeletal collections, which may be available for student research. In addition to a well-grounded education in archaeology, students that complete this track will have an advanced knowledge of the human body, experience conducting research, and honed scientific writing expertise. These skills will prepare students to continue their osteoarchaeological research efforts or pursue other career opportunities.
Please note: if you want to start in February, and you aim to graduate in a year, your thesis subject options are limited.
profiel Material Culture Studies
This Career Profile deals with current approaches in material culture theory, analytical methods and the techniques used to study artefacts and in experimental archaeology.
Experiments are key to both our research and teaching. These are conducted in an experimental laboratory, as well as in an experimental outdoor location called Huize Horsterwold. The latter is a Stone Age hamlet we have constructed these past few years and which we use as an experimental station.
profiel Digital Archaeology
In the Career Profile Digital Archaeology you will be able to acquire in-depth knowledge about digital data in archaeology: from generation to visualisation, analysis, interpretation and presentation.
You will also reflect on the nature and future of Digital Archaeology, focusing on how digital data and computational tools affect the way we undertake research and the results we achieve.
Your thesis will have a methodological focus, or at least a strong methodological component, in one of the sub-fields of Digital Archaeology (surveying and geophysics; remote sensing and image analysis; spatial analysis; 3D modelling; modelling and simulation; data management). The topic may be embedded in a larger research context, combining it for example with the topic of your second focus area.
