Background
Archaeology has been taught in Bristol since the 1960s. In 1996 a full 
Department of Archaeology was created, and in 2004 the Social Anthropology 
Unit merged with Archaeology to become the Department of Archaeology & 
Anthropology.

The Department has a strong track-record in research and teaching in 
historical archaeology, reflected in the creation during 2002 of the MA in 
Historical Archaeology of the Modern World. A strong body of postgraduate 
research in this field ranges from studies of the Long Kesh/Maze site in 
Northern Ireland, to the material dimensions of Atlantic history and 
British colonialism, and the archaeology of 20th century leisure 
landscapes.  

Full details of the department’s research and teaching activities in 
Britain and overseas can be viewed on the departmental website
