Archaeology and Anthropology BA (Hons)

Archaeology and anthropology are interrelated disciplines that, when combined, provide an excellent insight into what it is to be human, both past and present. This programme explores how people engage with their world, through methods and theories such as archaeological prospection and excavation, ethnographic fieldwork.A special feature of this program is that all the disciplines within the four fields of anthropology: archaeology, social and biological anthropology and anthropological linguistics are closely integrated over the three years, allowing you to explore global human diversity in time and space, in a truly interdisciplinary fashion. You will have the option to attend a week-long field school at the end of your first year, and participate in a minimum of three weeks of fieldwork as part of an active research project. This is usually undertaken during the summer vacation of your first or second year of study, and may be in the UK or overseas. Opportunities for undertaking further fieldwork, including participation in overseas research projects, are also available.
