This degree bridges materials science and archaeology, equipping you with the skills to analyse archaeological materials using advanced scientific techniques. You’ll be introduced to core concepts from both disciplines and gain hands-on experience with key analytical methods, developing the expertise to independently design research, carry out materials characterisation, and interpret findings within their archaeological context.
You’ll benefit from access to excellent in-house laboratories and training in a wide range of techniques, including optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, portable XRF, X-ray diffraction, LIBS and LA-ICP-MS. Optional modules allow you to tailor your studies, with topics such as ceramic technology, ceramic petrography, metallography, geochemistry and stable isotopes, alongside a broad selection of archaeological options.
