About Master of Arts (Honours) - Archaeology and Social Anthropology (VL46)

Archaeology and social anthropology encompass the study of past and present human behavior. The program aims to explore the wide range of human social and material culture, spanning both ancient and modern times. Students have the opportunity to specialize in either subject for their undergraduate dissertation.

On the other hand, social anthropology focuses on the examination of human behavior within contemporary societies. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of a living society and its members requires engaging in participant observation. This entails immersing oneself in the society being studied, living with its members, and sharing their experiences, which may last for months or even years.

The program places significant emphasis on the acquisition of practical archaeological skills. Students are provided with hands-on experience in identifying and analyzing artifacts during practical sessions, utilizing items from the University of Edinburgh esteemed Vere Gordon Childe collection.

Moreover, students will engage in three weeks of archaeological fieldwork at the conclusion of their first year. Additionally, they will have the option to partake in further fieldwork, should they choose to do so.
