Energetics and coordination of skilled movement

Skilled people are more energetically efficient than unskilled people, yet little is known about how they achieve greater efficiency because the study of movement focuses on performance outcomes (task success, accuracy, error) and entirely neglects the metabolic energy cost.. more...

Archaeology

Archaeology provides a vivid understanding of how the past informs our present.  The department specialises in classical archaeology of the Mediterranean (Greece and Italy), the Middle East (Jordan, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Iran), Western and Central Asia, Cambodia and Australia, with annual fieldwork taking place in most of these areas.  Another focus is public archaeology and cultural heritage.. more...
