Archaeology
Piecing together the evidence of our incredible past.
An amazing place to study archaeology
Newcastle Upon Tyne is an ideal setting to study and research archaeology. Located on the edge of the former Roman Empire, we are surrounded by world-renowned heritage sites, including Hadrian’s Wall and the many medieval castle ruins along the Northumbrian coast. Our students benefit by being able to conduct fieldwork in areas of great archaeological significance.
Our teaching and research staff also have strong international focus with specialism across Europe and beyond. To learn more about members of our community, visit our people page.

A group of over 35 academic and research members of staff represent a vibrant, diverse and supportive community of outstanding researchers developing cutting-edge theories, methods and technologies in the field. We host several large research projects with local and international partners.
