Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology and Archaeology

Program Overview

By combining the disciplines of Anthropology and Archaeology we can think about the nature of humanity from the perspectives of biology, culture and objects. This course combines an anthropological approach to questions about what it means to be human with an archaeological perspective on the understanding of human societies and cultures.

Anthropology investigates the thinking and organisation of present?day western and non?western groups in their own terms and takes a long?term view of the biological aspects of humanity through the lens of evolution. This course connects the humanities with the sciences. You will study both biological and social anthropology throughout the course, in modules that draw on studies in primate and human evolution, as well as ethnographic examples from contemporary societies around the world.

Archaeology examines the physical evidence of past societies to trace the history of humanity. Ancient landscapes, buildings, objects and the physical remains of the people themselves can all reveal a small part of a bigger picture to create a jigsaw of understanding. With Archaeology we take a journey through time - from the earliest human ancestors to modern times - drawing from approaches within the humanities and the sciences to understand past cultures and their modern-day heritage.

You will get hands-on experience with archaeological fieldwork through your required modules and you will also build experience with anthropological fieldwork techniques. Optional modules include computer and laboratory-based studies as well as a wide range of modules that will deepen your knowledge of particular geographical regions or themes.

In your final year you will extend your knowledge of Archaeology or Anthropology in your dissertation, or you may undertake a placement.
