    The amount of people who have told me they've always wanted to study Anthropology after watching Bones just amazes me.

    Anthropology Alevel does not mean you will be looking at decomposed bodies to solve a crime.

    Sorry, can't help with that.
    Wherabouts do you live?

    Edit: I think your best bet would be big (FE) colleges, that offer almost all subjects. Also, maybe school and college websites aren't updated yet. I would check if a college offers Archeology, and then email them to ask if they will offer / plan to offer Anthropology.

    Anthropology is a new subject at AS and A-level. At A2, the specification gives students the opportunity to explore issues in a global as well as local context, and also to apply their knowledge and understanding of anthropological principles to a small-scale investigation on an anthropological topic of their choice.:yes:

    I was also thinking of taking up this subject. but I can't seem to find anywhere to get textbooks. does anyone know what textbooks I should get and where from? and also where I might be able to get tutors to learn this subject and a place to take the paper?
