This specialisation offers a STEM-based approach to archaeology by providing a deeper understanding of landscape processes that influence the site formation, such as sedimentology, stratigraphy, palaeoclimates, geomorphological and post-depositional processes. It therefore offers a much wider appreciation of the landscape, sediments and processes than a purely archaeology-driven program, which is an advantage in this highly competitive field. You’ll gain an understanding of landscapes, palaeoclimates and the biosphere, key physical–chemical concepts across a range of environments, and you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the world around us. You’ll explain how geomorphic processes relate to, influence and form archaeological sites. You’ll apply critical thinking and problem solving to the collection, analysis and interpretation of field data. You’ll develop vital spatial skills and apply knowledge to interpret landscape processes over a range of different timelines.
