This degree scheme enables you to study the broad disciplines that make up both Archaeology and Ancient History. You will have the opportunity to study the material remains of ancient cultures and participate in excavations. You will study the historical and literary documents along with the material remains of ancient and classical sites and their associated artefacts. The Archaeology part of the degree includes the study of the human past through an examination of physical remains such as stone tools, pottery and bones, through to buildings, structures, monuments and landscapes, while the Ancient History part widens the types of sources you will be studying by including textual and iconographic evidence. This degree also offers you a number of field trips both within the UK and abroad and at the core of this degree is an intensive field visit to the Mediterranean region: currently, students visit Naples. Expert guidance on these trips will be given by members of staff from the Archaeology and Classics departments. Further work on the region is undertaken back in Lampeter, where you have the opportunity to further your knowledge of the archaeology and history of the Mediterranean.
