Program Overview

Course overview

Studying Archaeology gives you a means to investigate the past, and an opportunity to study the major developments in human society - from the origins of humans to the development of the great civilisations.

Introduction

Studying human, animal and plant remains, artefacts and art, you will learn how to reconstruct the past from its material remains. You will investigate the major social, economic, religious and technological developments in long-term human history, from Britain to South Africa and Spain to China, and learn how to carry out archaeological excavation and survey.

Optional modules will allow you to explore specific cultural  areas, time periods, analytical methods or interpretive themes from an archaeological perspective.
