Establish wide-ranging, advanced practical skills, while gaining a deep theoretical knowledge and understanding of the logistical challenges, legal requirements and ethics involved in archaeological fieldwork.
Devised to meet demand for professional training both within the UK and internationally, this challenging and rewarding course offers you the perfect blend of theory and practice.
