The MSc in Mediterranean Archaeology at Edinburgh
builds on the real strengths in terms of staff
and opportunities that we have, covering a broad range
from prehistory and in the classical, and
post-classical periods
in the Mediterranean world.
We also offer a number of more practical courses which
allow people to understand archaeological illustration,
GIS, and so on.
There may well be the opportunity to participate in
field work during the summer months.
Staff within the school are concerned with field work
and research, stretching from Spain in the west
through to Italy, Greece, and to Turkey and Jordan
and Egypt at the eastern end.
Almost all the shores of the Mediterranean,
all the countries of the shores of the Mediterranean
are part of our research.
The programme will teach a number of courses in prehistory,
including the archaeology of islands, including also
more specific archaeology concerned with the ancient
Greek world, the Roman world, and also the Byzantine
world, what's happening in late antiquity and beyond.
Well, Edinburgh is a wonderfully historic city,
it's a multi-layered city, it's great for the archeologists,
you can almost understand the stratigraphy
of urban life and it's got terrific resources
in terms of museums, galleries, and so forth.
