Institute of Archaeology (F31)

The UCL Institute of Archaeology is the largest and one of the most highly regarded centres for archaeology, cultural heritage and museum studies in Britain. It is one of the very few places in the world actively pursuing research on a truly global scale in the archaeological sciences, heritage studies and world archaeology.

Its degree programmes offer an unrivalled variety of course options, both theoretical and practical, covering a diverse array of archaeological topics, and wide-ranging fieldwork opportunities.

The Institute hosts numerous events on many different aspects of archaeology and is linked to many other heritage institutions, archaeological societies and organizations, providing an outstanding research environment for staff, students and visitors.

Training Course

F31 Archaeological Soil Micromorphology Training Course 2024

Description

The course is jointly run by Dr Manuel Arroyo-Kalin and Dr Richard I Macphail. Training days (10,12-17 February 2024) will comprise lectures followed by the study of specific thin sections. Reference collection self directed study, for more advanced practitioners, will run in parallel. Attendees with no prior experience should plan on attenting the entire lecture programme. Experienced micromorphologists may attend lectures they are interested in, consult on their own research materials, and/or study the reference collections

Extra Practice Days: Given that many course attendees travel from different corners of the globe to London, reference collections will be made available for self-study between 20-23 February 2024 by special arrangement. If you wish to do so, please contact [email protected]
