Our research

Groundbreaking research tackling global issues.
At York, we combine cultural approaches and scientific analysis. We challenge issues from the origins of human behaviour to contemporary heritage management.
Our research has taken us from Yorkshire - the Mesolithic site of Star Carr - to international projects in Africa, through to innovations in digital heritage.
We host several international research centres producing impactful research across the breadth of archaeological and heritage study.
Our Department is recognised internationally as one of the best places to study archaeology and heritage and we tackle global issues that are both important and challenging. I really love working at York, not only because staff are so passionate about their work but also because the Department of Archaeology is a really friendly place to be!
