Architectural Research II is a follow-up course to Architectural Research I: it will put the research skills acquired in Architectural Research I into action. It is an 11-week group project (though each member’s contribution will be individually assessed). Each year, the module leader will set a different theme. The group must work towards producing a high-quality exhibition or a publication on this theme at the end of the course. Importantly, apart from the theme, key decisions regarding the research, organisation, design, and presentation of the project are in the hands of the students, in consultation with the course tutor. Each student will agree to take responsibility for a particular task or tasks, but regular group meetings mean that they remain aware of the progress of the whole project and must come together to work as a team.

This module introduces concepts and theories used to study the social significance of technology and material culture.

Module Description

This course consists of ten separate topics relating to archaeological field techniques. It builds on previous work undertaken in ARCL0011: Archaeological Field Methods. Topics covered include: geophysics, aerial survey, desk-based assessments, GIS, field survey, research designs, post-excavation analysis and LiDAR. This module is aimed to develop students knowledge of field techniques learnt during their first year and vacation fieldwork. A number of sessions are taught by visiting speakers as well as a number of IoA staff.

Module aims 

The aim of this course is to provide a more in depth examination of selected topics in archaeological fieldwork building upon the material covered in ARCL0011, Archaeological Field Methods. The emphasis is largely (although not entirely) on the types of knowledge useful for commercial archaeology, and the assessments are based on real-world tasks.

Learning outcomes 

This course is designed to give students:

1. a better understanding of the process of undertaking a field project from design to publication;

2. an introduction to creating a desk-top assessment;

3. further experience in analysing aerial photographs;

4. knowledge of the acquisition and analysis of LiDAR data.

5. Improve upon your group working skills.

6. Improve your skills in seeking out relevant data both in traditional publications and the web, and from other professionals.

7. Expand and improve basic computing skills.

8. Experience of academic research, writing and referencing.
