Diploma in Archaeology (Roman Britain)

 Without methods such as photography and modern digital technology, the only way to understand and learn about aspects of past history is by looking at available literature and archaeology. The course covers what archaeology is (‘the study of ancient things’), what methods it uses, how it is conducted and how evidence is analysed. The course explores the archaeology and history of Britain from the Late Iron Age Period to the fourth century AD when traditionally the Romans came and left Britain. This course provides an opportunity to enter a past world and to consider the lives and attitudes, perceptions and beliefs of people whose civilization is one of the foundation stones of our modern world – the Roman Empire. The course will also help build research, develop questioning skills and analytical skills which can be used in a wide variety of settings as well as for preparation for further study or practice of archaeology in Britain.
