The aim of this paper is to provide students with practical experience in archaeological excavation and in post-excavation laboratory procedures. The coursework component involves participation in a three-week field school during which time staff will provide students with training in a wide range of field methods, and in the use of field equipment. After the excavation has been completed, students will attend laboratory sessions and will complete of a laboratory based project relating to the excavation.
