Archaeological Methods for Fieldwork and Analysis
How do archaeologists find sites, gather data and proceed to make sense of archaeological traces? This module provides a detailed introduction to fieldwork methods and analysis, covering site prospection techniques (e.g., aerial photography and geophysical survey), the basics of environmental and maritime archaeology, the study of standing buildings, scientific dating techniques and excavation. The content is delivered through a combination of lectures and weekly practical sessions. -

Archaeology Dissertation
The dissertation is a key component of your degree, and the culmination of your programme of study. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate the skills of planning, research, data collation, analysis, and communication that you have learned during your prior studies, and allows you to take ownership of an individual, original piece of research. The scope for individual choice of topic is very wide (limited only by what staff are willing to supervise), and you are thus able to use the dissertation as a way to develop an area of Archaeology (cultural, chronological, methodological, theoretical, etc) that has particularly interested you during your programme of study. You will work closely with your supervisor to implement your project plan, producing research that, at its best, has the potential to represent a genuine and original contribution to archaeological knowledge. -

Archaeology Dissertation (60 Credit pathway)
The dissertation is a personal research project of 15,000 words, which is completed with guidance from a personal supervisor. It takes place over the summer period and should involve original research and high-quality formal written presentation of material. The 15,000 limit allows enough space for both analysis and discussion, as well providing the required detailed account of methods used. As part of this module you will give an oral presentation as opportunity to receive feedback from staff and fellow students. -

Archaeology in the Contemporary World
The remit of Archaeology remains to understand the human past through material traces and to comprehend how the pasts we create are structured by, and structure, contemporary social values. But the way Archaeology is practised is increasingly varied, drawing upon an expanding range of methodologies and interpretive approaches, and extending its reach both temporally and thematically. Through presentations of recent research, this module offers both: an introduction to current archaeological thought for Masters students entering programmes without an archaeological background; and, for those already familiar with the discipline, an insight into contemporary research and its disciplinary context at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and beyond. -
