Skeletal Anatomy (ARCM012)
15 credits
In this module you will be provided with in-depth training in skeletal anatomy. This module will enable you to distinguish human from non-human remains, identify and describe both intact and fragmented human remains. The module will involve taught lectures and supervised lab sessions in which you can use the teaching casts and skeletal collections to develop your osteological skills. You will also have access to the laboratory outside of the lectures and practical sessions, to provide you with the opportunity to train with the collections during your own time. The module will be taught as if you are completely unfamiliar with the human skeleton. Therefore, there are no pre-requisites in place for this module
