Archaeology

Most people are drawn to archaeology by an excitement about the past. You may have studied subjects such as history, classical civilisations or human biology at school, or your interest might simply have been stirred by visits to archaeological sites or museums.

Southampton offers vibrant and varied programmes that draw upon our global perspective and distinctive thematic research areas such as maritime archaeology, human origins, and the politics and value of heritage. We teach archaeology in a flexible and innovative manner: you will discover different periods and different peoples, expanding your knowledge of humans from their first appearance some two million years ago up to the present day.
