The relationship between red deer and people in prehistory is the subject of two talks by Kath Page, one of the UHI Archaeology Institute’s PhD students, later this month.
Kath began investigating the subject for her masters degree and the title of her ongoing PhD is The Deer Turn: reimagining nature and culture duality through human-red deer relations in Scotland’s archaeological past.
In it she is examining prehistoric human-red deer interactions through three themes: exploitation and extinction, societal change, and attitudes and ancestors.
The first talk takes place in Plockton on Monday, April 21, at 7pm. Click here to reserve a place.
The second, which is also being streamed online, is in the Gairloch Museum on Friday, April 25, at 5pm. Click here to book.
We’d be delighted to hear from anyone considering a self-funded MRes or PhD. Our research themes and topics are outlined here and if any of those are of interest, contact Professor Jane Downes for more information.
