Our Archaeology and Anthropology BA offers a cross-disciplinary exploration of human experience and societies, past and present. You will learn how ethnographic accounts and archaeological remains are used to investigate patterns of social, cultural, economic and political change, seeking to make sense of human diversity across the world. The Archaeology and Anthropology BA explores the development of human societies and human diversity around the world, analysing patterns of global social, cultural, economic and political change from Prehistory to the Early Modern Period. You will learn how archaeological evidence and ethnographic accounts help us to decipher the history of the places that we have inhabited and transformed over time to gain an understanding of how humans lived in the past and present.You will examine a broad range of topics including cultural difference, the relationship between people and “things”, climate change, colonialism, economics, technology, gender, disease and the intersections of physical, social, and biological landscapes. You will benefit from object-based teaching and learning, making use of UCL Ethnography Collections and the Institute of Archaeology Collections.
