Archaeology

Enjoy the flexibility to follow your own research interests, supported by our expert staff. You may also choose to study for either a PhD or MPhil qualification.

Our friendly research community will encourage you to develop your skills and expand your thinking. This could be through interdisciplinary research, contributing to research seminars, or organising conferences.

We offer a diverse range of expertise, spanning from early prehistory to the present day. Particular strengths include:

Mediterranean prehistory, in particular Greece and Italy

medieval and post-medieval archaeology in Britain and north-western Europe

the archaeology of standing buildings

the study of archaeological materials, ancient technology and production

We work closely with the British Geological Survey and University Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre, where students benefit from using the specialist facilities.

You are also welcome to join the activities and events of our research centres.
