BA/BS in Archaeology

The bachelor's studies past societies and their relevance to the present, covering the analysis of archaeological materials, the links between people and landscape, and the presentation of research findings through different media. Geographic focus runs from the Mediterranean through to Middle and Western Europe, including the Netherlands. Students build academic skills connecting archaeology to related fields such as heritage, landscape studies, art and history, and gain experience excavating and researching material remains of past human activity, including pottery, coins and bones, to build knowledge of earlier cultures. Digital, forensic and other modern research techniques are taught for locating and analysing archaeological remains, alongside the use of maps, geological data and computer modelling to reconstruct how a landscape would have looked in the past.
