Sheffield Zooarchaeology Lab

Sheffield has a long history of zooarchaeology teaching and research, and today it is home to one of the largest and most active zooarchaeology research teams in the UK. Our members work throughout the UK and Europe as well as contributing to projects in Asia and Africa, and have research interests that span the period from the Palaeolithic to the recent past. We are involved in a wide range of zooarchaeology teaching activities through our short courses, undergraduate classes, and Sheffield's MSc programmes in Osteoarchaeology and Environmental Archaeology and Palaeoeconomy.
