Explore topical issues ranging from human-environment interaction to rock art in the landscape, with unparallelled access to rich natural resources for landscape study in the Yorkshire Moors, Dales and Wolds.
Gain a unique perspective on landscape archaeology as you focus on human ecology and the interactions of people with their environments. You’ll examine case studies from many different periods and areas around the world to understand different approaches to the study of landscape change. You’ll also investigate the varying lifeways of humans through the ages, and how people have interacted with the natural world since early prehistory.
With guidance from leading researchers and experienced academics, you’ll develop your understanding of the recognition, recording, interpretation and conservation of archaeological landscapes and build key practical skills in surveying, GIS, geoarchaeology and aerial photography.
