In this Unit the student will develop their practical methodological skills that were introduced in the Level 1 Certificate. These will include development of practical field techniques in areas such as I) geophysics, ii) aerial and ground survey interpretation iii) the use of GIS in archaeology iv) archaeological excavation techniques and post-excavation analysis. The student will be expected to reach a minimum level of competence in each of these fields. All students will participate on a recognised training excavation and will have completed 6 weeks in the field over the two years that the course runs.
