Bournemouth University Archaeology Showcase

Bournemouth University's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology is recognised as one of the most unique, due to its location on the Southwest and the opportunities for exploring active sites that it offers. From unearthing the mysteries of the globally-renowned ancient stone circle of Stonehenge to discovering the secrets of our Iron-Age ancestors, BU students get hands on experience that is not offered anywhere else in the country.
Our active research interests stretch from the very earliest archaeology and anthropology of our human ancestors, right the way through to early farming societies, the Bronze and Iron Ages, to the Romans. They are also global in scale - from Europe and the Near East, to Africa, Asia, the Americas and the islands of the Pacific. We specialise in practical fieldwork and the analysis of archaeological and anthropological material, including digital, forensic and maritime methods and applications of archaeology and anthropology. We are also actively concerned with the relationships that exist between humans, objects, animals and our environments and how these vary across time and space, contributing not only to debates about the past, but also present day issues such as climate change.
