Archaeology
Short courses for the public
Archaeology (together with Ancient History, Egyptology and Anthropology) is one of the Department's most comprehensively taught subjects, offering students the chance for progression from a single day school through Oxford award and degree programmes. Many short courses can be studied for credit.
