The course introduces students to the discipline of archaeology and to explain how archaeologists use evidence to interpret the past; students progress from the 1st year core modules to a more in-depth, scientific approach in the 2nd and 3rd years; it is compulsory for students to gain excavation experience in the UK and overseas.
Year 1: Students are introduced to the discipline of archaeology: understanding the past through the study of its material remains; this is achieved by studying the general principles and methods of how archaeological sites and remains are recovered and interpreted and by seeing how the knowledge of the development of Europe, over great spans of time, is illuminated by archaeology. Year 2: 5 more advanced modules continue students' progress in understanding the principles and practice of archaeology; students explore major themes such as technology and production and the history and theory of archaeology; students also develop practical archaeological research and information technology skills, including the techniques of archaeological draughtsmanship; in addition, students can choose to specialise in specific time periods and areas building on the introductory modules of the 1st year. Year 3: Students are given the chance to undertake their own research project which they write up as a dissertation; the rest of the year is taken up with a variety of modules of their own choosing from the wide range offered by the department; the department offers modules covering the full range of archaeology from the Stone Age to the medieval period.
