The Master of Science and Graduate Diploma in Hunter-Gatherer Archaeology caters to students fascinated by the intriguing world of ancient foraging societies. It's commonly stated that humans lived as hunter-gatherers for 90-99% of our species' history. Studying these lifestyles offers crucial insights into human identity and modern societal challenges. While anthropology sheds light on recent hunter-gatherer communities, archaeology uniquely enables us to explore our foraging past, giving this field special importance. This program covers essential topics in hunter-gatherer archaeology, connections between ancient and modern foraging societies, and current research approaches. We primarily focus on Homo sapiens hunter-gatherers, with some reference to other species, though this isn't an evolution-focused course.
