    Archaeology

  • Field of study
    • Target group The M.Sc. in Natural Science Archaeology is a two-year, research-oriented course that deals with the wide range of scientific applications for addressing archaeological and historical questions. In the first semester, students will get an overview of the different disciplines of natural science archaeology and then specialise in one of these disciplines. The course is not focused on specific periods or regions, but focuses on methods and topics. Facilities • Laboratory for old DNA • Laboratory for organic petrology and micromorphology • Sedimentological and soil-science laboratory • Palaeoanthropology Imaging Lab • Palaeoanthropology High Resolution Computer Tomography Laboratory • Radiocarbon and luminescence dating (Curt-Engelhorn Centre Archaeometry Mannheim) • Archaeobotanical laboratory • Large comparative collections of human osteology, fauna and botany (seeds, fruits and charcoal) • Analytical laboratory and isotope geochemistry (Curt-Engelhorn Centre Archaeometry Mannheim) • Measuring room for trace element and isotope analysis (Curt-Engelhorn Centre Archaeometry Mannheim) • X-ray fluorescence analysis (Curt-Engelhorn Centre Archaeometry Mannheim) Although the Institute for Natural Science Archaeology was officially founded only in 2007, this area already has a long and excellent tradition at the University of Tübingen. As early as 1896, Ernst Koken taught human evolution and prehistory at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Since then, numerous courses in Natural Science Archaeology have been taught in Tübingen. For many decades Tübingen was the only German university with an archaeology department within a faculty of natural sciences. Over the past decades, Natural Science Archaeology in Tübingen has been closely linked to the Chair of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology and that of Bioarchaeology. In recent years, a chair for archaeometry and two new junior professorships have been set up at the Institute of Natural Science Archaeology. The institute is divided into six pillars: archaeometry, archaeobotany, geoarchaeology, palaeoanthropology, palaeogenetics and zoo archaeology.
