This MA provides training in the documentation and interpretation of artefacts from archaeological sites and museum collections. Students will work with original finds from the rich collection of the Institute of Archaeology. Teaching includes a mixture of lectures, seminars and practicals with various types of artefacts, including pottery, worked flint and metals. Students will develop basic skills in cleaning, marking, describing, measuring, photographing and drawing artefacts, as well as producing a finds catalogue at professional level. We will discuss and train the identification of raw materials as well methods of classification and typology and the production and use of finds mapping.
