ARC1014: Investigating Archaeology

Investigating Archaeology explains how archaeology is done. It will introduce the business of finding archaeology, whether in the form of individual sites or as interconnected landscapes, and how we then investigate archaeology through survey and excavation, including the importance of stratigraphy. After gathering data, the archaeological process progresses to the analysis of materials and evidence. The fundamentals of chronology and the use of historical, typological and scientific dating methods are an important element of the process. The investigation of biological evidence that tells us about natural as well as human environments in the past will be introduced. In-class exercises and assignments will familiarise you in more detail with some of these methods.

ARC1011: Medieval Society to Globalisation

The module will i to the chronology of British archaeology from the medieval to modern periods, understood within its wider European and global context. It will introduce you to how archaeological evidence and approaches contribute to our understanding of life, lifestyle and landscape between c. AD 400 and the present day. The syllabus covers a wide range of different types of archaeological evidence, including excavations, settlements, buildings, fortifications, monuments, landscapes, objects, scientific samples of human and animal remains, textual references and artworks. The module also engages in aspects of historic heritage and its presentation through a case study of sites in historic 黑料不打烊.

ARC1012: Evolution to Empire

Who are we and how did we evolve? Who made the first tools and when was the earliest art? How did complex and unequal societies develop? In this module we will chart the history of humans from our earliest Palaeolithic ancestors to the Roman Empire, including the domestication of plants and animals, the introduction of metalworking and the emergence of cities. Sessions will tack between exploring major global changes and looking in detail at how these developments played out in Britain. You will explore a range of different types of archaeological evidence, including artefacts, monuments, landscapes and settlements.

CLA1001: Greek History: Problems and Sources

This module introduces you to the history of the Greek world from the Archaic period to the rise of Rome. You will explore who the 'Greeks' were, and how their culture came to dominate the eastern Mediterranean and beyond, as well as exploring in depth the different forms of ancient evidence that help us to reconstruct their world. This module offers an introduction not only to the political and military history of the Greek world, from the Persian Wars to the campaigns of Alexander and the eventual conquest by Rome, but also to their economic, social, religious and intellectual life.

• To provide an introduction to Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Greek history.
• To develop an understanding, through a close study of ancient evidence and modern scholarship, of the limitations of textual evidence, as well as the general themes and problems of the periods and regions covered.

CLA1002: Roman History: Problems and Sources

In this module you will explore Roman History from the mythologised story of the foundation of the city in 753 BCE to the end of the Roman Empire in the West over a thousand years later. In particular, you will focus on the late Republic and Principate, a time of rapid imperial expansion, violent internal conflicts and the emergence of a new political order dominated by autocratic emperors. Within a broadly chronological structure, you will explore a range of important topics and questions concerning the Roman world through critical engagement with a wide variety of ancient material and modern scholarly approaches.

This module is designed to:

• help you gain knowledge and understanding of the grand sweep of ancient Roman history from its earliest times until the end of antiquity

ARA1030: Introduction to Islamic Archaeology

In this multidisciplinary module you will be introduced to the importance of material culture as a way of understanding Muslim societies of the past, and of better understanding Islam in the present. The module aims to familiarise you with the rich diversity of Islamic culture through archaeological, historical and ethnographic evidence.

You will develop critical skills in the following areas: the theory of material culture and archaeology with particular reference to Islamic cultures; the treatment of Islam and Islamic societies within the history of art, archaeology and material cultural studies; the use ethnography as a tool of research; and the methodologies and practices of archaeology.

Beyond the use of archaeology to merely understand historical phenomena, you will be introduced to innovative approaches to the study of Islamic societies, in particular, to the combined use of textual documentation, ethnological analogies, and the archaeological record.

This multidisciplinary module is designed to introduce students to the importance of material culture as a way of understanding Muslim societies of the past, and of better understanding Islam in the present. The module aims also to familiarise students with the rich diversity of Islamic culture through archaeological, historical and ethnographic evidence.

ARC1007: Archaeological and Forensic Science Practicals

Archaeologists and forensic scientists utilise a range of scientific approaches, techniques and methods within the field and laboratory. Mostly, both disciplines have adopted these from developments that have occurred within science generally. However, there are some approaches, techniques and methods that have been established primarily for the purposes of archaeology and then adopted by forensic science, and visa versa. There is general awareness that use of archaeological approaches is essential when police are investigating buried crime scenes but the methodological links between archaeology and forensic science are far much more widespread. In this module you will be introduced to those connections and a range of techniques for identifying, extracting and analysing evidence. You will have the opportunity to engage with a number of shared techniques and methods in both field and laboratory practical contexts. To get the most out of this module, some science at A level (or equivalent) is desirable but not essential.

ARC1008: Forensic Archaeology

This module will introduce you to the way in which archaeologists are employed by law enforcement agencies to find and recover buried evidence. You will be introduced to key scientific approaches that are of common value to both traditional and forensic archaeology as well as techniques for the search, location, recovery and recording of buried forensic evidence.

The aim is to:

• Introduce you to the key scientific approaches and theories that are of common value to both traditional and forensic archaeology.
• Provide you with a good understanding of the techniques used to find, recover, record and interpret buried forensic evidence.

ARC1040: Artefacts and Materials

This module will introduce you to the fascinating subject of material culture as applied in archaeology. Teaching is done through a combination of introductory lectures and hands-on activities. Some of the work and assignments are done as small group exercises. The module will develop your skills in recognising artefacts and materials and an understanding of how archaeologists deal with them. Along with learning about artefacts as objects you will also learn about how they were made, their place in time and how they contribute to our understanding of the past. You do not need any prior experience with these materials and the module is appropriate within interdisciplinary studies.

The module will develop skills in recognising common types of artefacts and principal categories of materials. Artefacts are a category of archaeological evidence that will be encountered in all archaeological and heritage work, and it is important to understand how to describe, draw and analyse them. The module will provide an introduction to manufacturing methods, observational recording and drawing techniques, and point towards resources for researching artefacts. Teaching will be through practical assignments and classes (including hands-on exploration of artefacts) and lectures in a variety of presentation formats.

ARC1080: Archaeology and Heritage: Past and Futures

In this module you will explore how studying the past can often be influenced by contemporary social and political concerns. We will explore the history of the discipline, chartering the development of how we have thought about the past, from the first antiquarians to current theoretical approaches. We will look at case studies to understand how knowledge about the past is generated, consumed and contested in a variety of settings, from museums to landscapes and the protection of heritage sites. The module will introduce you to debates surrounding repatriation, metal detecting and the display of human remains, as well as exploring broader areas such as public engagement, heritage and decolonisation. Understanding the role of archaeology in the modern world is essential to contextualise the rest of your studies, and thinking about the present and future of the discipline will equip you for the world of employment and future careers. The objective is to help you understand how archaeologists investigate and write about the past, with the second half of the module focusing particularly at presenting the past (heritage sites and museums), accessing the past (physically and digitally), and engaging people with the past. You will learn, through lectures, seminars, group work and independent study about important challenges in the world of archaeology and heritage, and explore them by engaging with diverse forms of evidence and group discussions.

ARC2602: Research in Archaeology

This module will develop your independent learning skills and competence in a range of Archaeologically-relevant industry standard digital software packages. Building on what you have learned in core Year 1 modules in Archaeology, this module will prepare you for your independent Dissertation research in your final year, and increase your understanding of the value and use of online digital datasets and sources in archaeological study and research, and critical presentational skills. The module is compulsory for all students studying archaeology but is also available to students on other programmes as an optional module.
