Learning and assessment

Stage 1 introduces you to a range of archaeological periods, regions and materials, and the development of archaeology as a discipline. Practical modules such as Introduction to Archaeological Methods and Field Recording Skills allow you to handle real archaeological materials and explore methods of field survey and the principles of stratigraphy. Through the Scientific Frameworks module, you are also introduced to the main scientific techniques used in modern archaeology.

Tahap 2 mengembangkan pemikiran kritis Anda dan menawarkan unsur pilihan dalam studi Anda. Partisipasi dalam Kerja Lapangan Arkeologi dialokasikan melalui CV dan surat lamaran dan memungkinkan pengalaman langsung penggalian dan pencatatan, sehingga Anda dapat membuat keputusan sendiri di bawah pengawasan. Memahami Artefak secara logis mengikuti tahap penggalian dan menunjukkan proses yang diperlukan untuk memahami artefak arkeologi dan bagaimana artefak tersebut menginformasikan perdebatan arkeologi yang lebih luas. Manajemen Warisan dengan GIS mengikuti Arkeologi Inggris dalam memeriksa konteks hukum dan keuangan dari disiplin ilmu tersebut.

Other optional modules complement the core modules examining ethical and scientific issues (Bioarchaeology: Humans, Plants and Animals) and cultural archaeology from the Palaeolithic to the Viking period (Prehistoric Societies; Celts, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings).

Stage 3 develops your critical thinking further, and allows greater self-learning through the Dissertation. Bones, Bodies and Burials builds on Biological Anthropology: From Human Evolution to Forensic Anthropology (stage 1) and Bioarchaeology: Humans, Plants and Animals and Interpreting Archaeology (stage 2) to permit the detailed study of human remains in their cultural context.
