Course Description
The study of Archaeology focuses on our understanding of past cultures, patterns of resource use and ways of life through an examination of a variety of evidence including materials and artefacts, human remains, the landscape and documentary records. The systematic recovery and critical interpretation of such evidence is essential to the development of archaeological knowledge. The practical emphasis starts at the beginning of the degree; students spend their first week on one of the University's training excavations learning how to dig. Teaching on the rest of the degree is split evenly between practicals, lectures and fieldwork. Students will also spend at least eight weeks on placement working on real excavations, helping to do cutting edge research. Some of these digs are research projects run by UCLan staff, but we also encourage more experienced students to organise their own placements with external organisations, either here or abroad. Archaeology students also have the opportunity to go on a two week study fieldtrip to Kenya in their final year. This is a unique opportunity to live and work among the Maasai people and to study the archaeology of the country.
