The Archaeology course provides a rich, structured journey into the study of past human civilizations through their physical and cultural remains. Beginning with an introduction to archaeology, students explore its historical development, modern applications, and the interdisciplinary methods used to uncover and interpret artefacts and landscapes. The course addresses critical ethical issues in the field, such as responsible excavation and the protection of cultural heritage, setting the stage for a thoughtful and informed approach to archaeology.

Learners will delve into the origins of archaeology as an academic discipline and examine its evolution over time. The curriculum then introduces a wide range of archaeological specializations, from classical and biblical archaeology to forensic and environmental archaeology. Each branch offers unique insights into specific periods, materials, or methodologies, allowing students to discover their area of interest and appreciate the diversity of the field.

The course also places a strong focus on dating techniques, including radiocarbon dating and stratigraphy, enabling learners to understand how archaeologists establish timelines and reconstruct ancient narratives. Students will explore the importance of archaeological site surveying, remote sensing, and pre-excavation research, along with the various excavation methods and safety protocols required in the field.

Post-excavation analysis, documentation, and conservation techniques are thoroughly covered to ensure learners gain a full understanding of the archaeological process from discovery to preservation. The course concludes with a look into the future of archaeology, highlighting advancements in technology and the growing role of public archaeology and cultural resource management in shaping how societies engage with their past.
