The double module Practical and Analytical methods for Chronometry. Planning for a dissertation commences in the second term and the work is completed during the third term and the summer vacation.

There are 5 seminar presentations which are formative assignments. This new course is suitable for archaeology graduates or scientists with some training in archaeology or related historical sciences who wish either to gain a broader grounding in dating studies before embarking on specialist research in chronometry or to further enhance their professional skills in the field of chronometry.
