The Archaeology program is a world-renowned centre of research into the archaeological past. Subjects are directed towards providing an understanding of human societies and cultures based on archaeological, geographical, historical and other evidence. Emphasis is given to the evolution of modern people and their social and technical developments with a focus on both Australia and other parts of the world. In all subjects, attention is given to the techniques and theories that contribute to the study of Archaeology.
Archaeological excavations, in which students are encouraged to participate, may be held during the year. Excursions to archaeological sites may also be arranged. They may be compulsory and involve some additional expenditure.
