PhD Archaeology will see you undertake substantial original research leading to a thesis that constitutes a genuine contribution to archaeological knowledge. You can undertake your PhD as either a full-time or part-time programme. Archaeology students often undertake some form of fieldwork as part of their PhD. This could be a small-scale excavation, survey, rock art recording, or work with museum collections and archives. You may also carry out qualitative social research in the realm of heritage studies (e.g. conducting qualitative interviews or participant observation). Archaeology research at — is characterised by a number of themes, which give a distinctive flavour to our research and teaching. These include the study of: - history, theory and practice of Archaeology; - the archaeology of cultural identity; - landscape, monuments and architecture; - technology and society; - death and the body - archaeological heritage and the contemporary significance of the past. Our doctoral students are part of a thriving disciplinary research culture with regular research seminars. Many of our students undertake some undergraduate teaching following appropriate training.
