An Introduction to British Archaeology (Core module)

The British Isles have been inhabited by humans and our hominid predecessors for around a million years, during which time ancient societies have left behind a huge and diverse range of material remains bearing witness to their lives and activities. Archaeologists investigate these remains, from Stonehenge to the Staffordshire Hoard, to understand the people and societies who created them. This module will consider the archaeology of the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, medieval and post-medieval/modern periods in Britain, prefaced with sessions outlining the history, principles and organisation of archaeological research in the UK.
