Archaeologists give us the chance to see how people lived and how they interacted with their communities and societies.

There are plenty of opportunities to get hands-on with this major, with practical archaeological training, including field methods and laboratory analysis.

Our acclaimed lecturers have a breadth of knowledge in the field to enrich your learning - Professor Bryce Barker can claim to have uncovered the oldest rock art to have been discovered in Australia.
