Each student researches and writes a 28,000-word dissertation on an aspect of archaeology or archaeological heritage that relates to the Department’s specialisms. In researching their dissertations, students will spend time working in archaeological collections, archives, libraries and other repositories or may conduct non-intrusive archaeological fieldwork, ensuring that they have a sizeable primary source base to work from. A supervisor will be assigned whose guidance, advice and support will be provided through one-to-one tutorials. Although the supervisor will offer considerable intellectual and practical guidance, the dissertation itself is based largely upon independent research.
