ARCH30880 Research Project

Academic Year 2021/2022

The Supervised Research Project gives you a key, and exciting, opportunity to conduct your own research into an archaeological subject of your choice. Unlike an essay, which has been set as part of a module, this is a chance to develop a piece of research over which you have full ownership, consequently the process of developing your own project can provide a great deal of personal satisfaction. Prior to doing this module you will already have produced a project proposal that identifies your topic, research questions, methodology, scale of task and timetable.
