Master of Arts - Archaeology of Death and Memory
University Of Chester · Chester, United Kingdom
About this programme
This MA in Archaeology of Death and Memory explores the complex history of death and memory from the hunter-gatherer societies of the Palaeolithic to recent times.
This course is an exciting, cross-period postgraduate course of global application. It will allow students to examine and gain advanced expertise in the study of death, burial and commemoration in the human past, shedding light on debates and concerns of our present day.
The course focuses on archaeology but is unusually cross-disciplinary. Students will explore debates that connect archaeology to research themes shared across the humanities and social sciences, including studies of ritual, the body, material culture, memory and mortality. Consequently, this degree will interest those with first degrees in archaeology or history, and also those with backgrounds in other disciplines.
