Through a series of specialist modules, you’ll explore the archaeology of the Aegean and neighbouring regions. There’s an emphasis on prehistoric periods (Neolithic to Early Iron Age, including the Bronze Age Minoan and Mycenaean worlds), and scope to study later periods.
Themes include: landscape change; subsistence; material culture and identity; analysis of single sites; Bronze and Iron Age trading systems; the history of archaeology in the Aegean; the contexts of Bronze Age Aegean and Cypriot literacy and the analysis of ceramics, seeds or animal bones.

About this course
This course provides a strong introduction to current theories and research agendas in Aegean archaeology, and gives you the chance to explore practical fields of study. I've explored a wide range of subdisciplines within archaeology, including Archaeozoology, Archaeobotany, and Material Culture studies.
Usually a minimum 2:1 honours degree in an arts, humanities or science subject. But your interest in and understanding of archaeology is more important than what you studied at undergraduate level.
