Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology

Archaeologists study ancient cultures and reconstruct the past based on material remains. These remains are mostly buried and thus usually found during excavations. The real work, however, begins only after the fieldwork is done: analysing, comparing, hypothesizing, assessing ... Archaeology is an interdisciplinary domain that calls on various auxiliary disciplines.
