AR245 ARCHAEOLOGY IN PRACTICE (COMPULSORY)

Module Summary

The objective of this module is to (a) introduce the student to a range of fundamental sources and methods used by the archaeologist and (b) to teach the student how to apply those sources and methods in practice. Please note that lecture twelve in this module will be an in-class test that constitutes 20% of your overall mark in this module.

In order to make the experience of the module more fulfilling, you are offered a choice of three practical options after you have attended the first 12 lectures of the module. The idea behind the options is that you choose 1 out of the 3 that will best suit your ability and needs. In the first week of the module you will be asked to rank your choices 1-3. Places for each option will subsequently be allocated to students by ballot. The practical options are: 

1. FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY IN PRACTICE
2. MATERIAL CULTURE IN PRACTICE
3. REGIONAL ARCHAEOLOGY IN PRACTICE
   Please choose your option carefully and with due regard to your abilities and needs. You will receive more information on each option in the first lecture in this course.
