Year 1 covers analytical techniques including dating techniques; understanding environmental evidence; ways natural materials have been used and altered by humans; these are complemented by those which encourage handling a range of ancient materials from stone and metal through to samples viewed through the microscope; techniques learnt are then applied to modules that focus on reconstructing the development of human society in Europe over the last two millennia BC. Years 2-3 build on skills and expertise acquired in first year; range of modules includes those concentrating on specialist aspects with a wide choice of optional laboratory and lecture- based modules in archaeology along with one or more modules from the Faculty of Science.

This degree not only introduces students to the methodology of those techniques but also offers the opportunity to apply them directly to the evidence; emphasis is on the handling, interpretation and manipulation of archaeological evidence and gives a specific understanding of science-based archaeological methods combined with the study of the archaeology of particular areas and periods; students also take modules offered by other departments in the Faculty of Science and must complete 4 weeks of fieldwork or museum-based work either in the UK or overseas, possibly on one of the Department's research projects in Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Jordan, South Africa or Egypt.
