| Course Description | The course is individually tailored to address the interests and skills requirements of students enrolled in the Master of Archaeological Science Program. It allows students to gain skills from a range of offerings which are not taught as part of regular classroom teaching at the graduate level. These might include working with a specialist in an area not being taught that year to acquire the skills that would usually be taught, or could require working with a specialist to gain skills in an area that is not usually formally taught at the ANU. Examples might include aspects of faunal analysis, residue analysis, advanced geological, GIS, or earth science techniques. The course coordinator will arrange teaching for this course in consultation with the student and with available colleagues. The course is complementary to Archaeological Science Project 1, and allows skills additional to those imparted in that core course to be acquired by the student. |
