How much archaeological fieldwork is involved?
On arrival at UCL, you will participate in our
long-established Experimental Archaeology course, spending four days
away from London to do things like pottery making, copper smelting,
flint-knapping, wood working, and collecting and processing wild foods.
This is both an opportunity to learn about life in the past first-hand
and to get to know each other and our staff in an informal setting. As
part of your degree you are required to complete 70 days of
archaeological fieldwork, which you can spread across the three years of
study. In your third year you will
produce a portfolio
describing your fieldwork experiences.
