Archaeology at Wolfson
Archaeology is the study of human societies from prehistory to the recent past, focusing on the evidence from material culture but linking to ancient history and many other subjects in the social sciences and humanities. It covers a huge range of topics, spanning the evolution of humans through the development of farming, ancient complex societies and world empires, as well as heritage in the modern world.
Students can follow several streams – Archaeology (covering all world cultures), Biological Anthropology, Egyptology and Assyriology. Its flexibility means you can either specialise from Year 1, or opt for a broad start before concentrating on up to two subjects from the second year.
You can find further information about studying Archaeology on the University's course . Detailed information is also available on the Department's Prospective Undergraduates .
