Birkbeck's BA History and Archaeology will equip students to study the past through both texts and objects. This course teaches students how to use a range of evidence - from prehistoric pottery to Greek sculpture, and Roman coins to medieval manuscripts - to explore the past. Students will gain practical archaeological experience by participating in a field school, and acquire critical and analytical skills by studying and comparing data and methods from the two disciplines of history and archaeology. This course tackles big historical questions, exploring people’s lives in different times and places and the ways in which the past continues to shape the future. Students will learn to combine written sources and archaeological data to gain insight into periods of choice, ranging from the ancient Mediterranean to early modern Europe. In addition to lectures and seminars, students will receive practical training in archaeological fieldwork and artefact-handling sessions. This course is ideal for those who are interested in understanding human experiences and thoughts in the changing historical contexts of society and culture.
