Research in Archaeology
Our key specialisms include:
- landscape archaeology
- material culture of historic periods
- bodies and identity
Our areas of research range from the Eastern Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa to the regional archaeology of northern England. We focus on later prehistory, Greek and Roman archaeology, and the archaeology of historic periods.

Our outstanding facilities include a research suite for postgraduates with new computing facilities, and a bioarchaeology laboratory built with support from the Wolfson Foundation. We also have close links with Newcastle’s Great North Museum: Hancock and its internationally important collection of Greek, Etruscan, Roman, and Romano-British artefacts.
