Entry Requirements

Description
An eight week evening course to explore ideas associated with Experimental Archaeology as part of methods in archaeological research, with the additional opportunities to attend tutor guided Saturday fieldtrips to relevant museums and archaeological sites, and to engage in small Experimental Archaeology projects. The tutor will offer guidance in project areas, and the course will encourage discussion relating to aspects of this field of research, which may be of value to those who wish to pursue further academic study or a leisure interest.


Course Content
Each classroom session will address a different topic within the main theme of Experimental Archaeology, and there will be time each week set aside for activities relating to practical issues. From an archaeological perspective, the group will discuss physical evidence and theories associated with methods of experimentation.
Where a course is aimed towards an assessment/examination, it is expected that all students will enter for the qualification.
