Archaeology (Research) | Doctorate / PhD | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 4 years | Birkbeck, University of London | United Kingdom

A research degree offers you the opportunity to acquire a highly advanced set of conceptual skills developed in the pursuit of new knowledge, which can be applied within or beyond an academic or scholarly context. Research training in any academic discipline helps to channel creativity into critical innovatory reasoning. The legitimate authority of original, independent research depends upon persuasive analytical arguments supported by critically evaluated evidence. Our research areas include: classical Greek, Hellenistic and Roman Republican Archaeology; Roman provincial Archaeology; and late antique and early medieval Western European Archaeology. Key specialisms include: Archaeology of urban settlement, Archaeology of cult and ritual, death and burial, social Archaeology, attitudes to the past, and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies in History and Archaeology.
