About Archaeology & Palaeoecology, MPhil - at Queen's University Belfast

By joining Archaeology & Palaeoecology you will become part of a dynamic group of researchers in one of two interdisciplinary Research Clusters: Environmental Change & Resilience (ECR) for more environmentally-related projects, and Culture & Society (C&S) for more humanities-related Archaeology projects.

Much of our research spans several disciplines - for example projects on the hydrogeology and restoration of bogs. Research in the C&S cluster explores the material manifestations of culture through time and space.

The combination of environmental archaeology, and especially bio-archaeology, with more traditional approaches to the past, helps to differentiate Queen's from most other Archaeology departments and is seen as both a strength and stimulus to future developments. Research students are encouraged to play a full and active role in relation to the wide range of research activities undertaken within the School and there are many resources available, including:]
