About the course

The course is research-oriented and focuses on how field archaeology can problematise relevant research questions. You are involved in the planning of the excavation/survey in consultation with the course coordinator and are given clearly defined responsibilities in carrying out the activity; the subsequent management and analysis of finds; and report writing. Emphasis is also placed on how archaeological knowledge can be conveyed through various forms of media. Please note that you must be prepared to work with manuals and archaeological regulations in Swedish as well as having an understanding of Swedish archaeological terminology.
