This Unit will investigate the development of archaeological theory from the 1960's to the present day. The relevance of theory and modelling in contemporary archaeology will be stressed and the students will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of broad theoretical concepts through seminar sessions and construction of models to be applied to their individual project. Especial emphasis will be placed upon the role of theoretical applications in project and research design and execution. Heritage Management issues concerning conservation, preservation, archaeology and legislation will be studied.
