Introduction
As a broad subject, Archaeology encompasses questions about the origins of our species, the diversity of ancient cultures, the development of sedentary life and farming, and the emergence of the first cities and empires. Our teaching and research ranges from understanding the role of material culture (‘things’) in human life, through the preservation of archaeological heritage in modern societies, to understanding how humans contribute to climate change, past and present.
As a student here, you could follow one of several streams – Archaeology (covering all world cultures), Biological Anthropology, Egyptology, or Assyriology.
One of the largest centres of archaeological research in Britain, the Department of Archaeology, together with the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, was recently awarded top place for Archaeology in the UK by the The Sunday Times Good University Guide.
As an Archaeology student at Cambridge, you would benefit from access to world-class collections in Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Fitzwilliam Museum, among others. Additional resources include the Haddon Library, devoted to undergraduate teaching in the subject, and area research centres.
