Degree in Archaeology and Geology
Studying geoarchaeology is like studying the geography of the past. It combines attempts to understand ancient cultures and societies through their material remains, with interpretation of archaeological contexts and artefacts made of soils, sediments, metals, clay and stone. We also study landscape history and change, and how the environment was influenced by, and influenced, people in the past; this history has a major impact onand lessons for our world today. Geoarchaeologists study all aspects of ancient culture, from all periods when there were people on the earth, even up to how we understand the past in the present.
