ArchaeoTech

ArchaeoTech is a 4 day Experimental Archaeology course for all 1st year undergraduates in the UCL Institute of Archaeology.  

ArchaeoTech is taught in partnership with Butser Ancient Farm to take the skills, expertise and perspective that experimental archaeology brings to address broader contemporary social and environmental issues. 

Our activities include working with a wide range of materials, engaging in technical processes, active learning through experience, understanding site formation process and the challenges of interpreting material traces, as well as public outreach. 

Experimental archaeology plays a strong role in the Undergraduate Degrees and embraces both our core subject focus of a material-led approach and makes a direct link to our departmental identity as the UCL Institute of Archaeology.
