Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4023210FNR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
The study of past human and animal populations requires the combination of archaeological expertise with biogeochemical analyses (stable and radiogenic isotopes, trace elements. There has been an important increase in bioarchaeological research over the last decades and it has shown the importance of interdisciplinary research, and the strong contribution provided by analytical chemistry. This course will focus on explaining how isotope geochemistry can be used to better understand diet, mobility and landscape use of ancient populations.
.
The student will gain an understanding of the use of a variety of isotope geochemistry methods and the application of these analytical methodologies to traces different physico-chemical and biological processes, essentially focused on Archaeology, but also with wider implications in ecology, forensic sciences and palaeontology. This knowledge is acquired through a combination of theoretical lectures supported and illustrated by in-depth practical experience and analyses of case-studies found in the scientific literature.
