Fieldwork

Fieldwork opportunities include work on sites in Scotland, France and across southern Europe.

Students and professional archaeologists wearing high-vis clothing excavate and record a trench in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh

Fieldwork forms an important part of archaeological study at both undergraduate level and in some postgraduate programmes.

Current or recent fieldwork (excavation and survey) has been undertaken in Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Sicily, Romania, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Ibiza, Northern Spain, France and Scotland.

Through their participation in a variety of projects students acquire a sound knowledge of archaeological field techniques, learn the importance of teamwork, and develop other (transferable) skills.

Current projects

Current students can find out more about fieldwork on the HCA Student Hub (link below).
