Designed for a wide range of individuals seeking familiarity with the archaeology of the post-medieval period and the approaches of historical archaeology, the course relies upon a balance between theory and practice in the study of the recent past. All students will participate in the organisation, implementation, and analysis of an excavation on an Irish post-medieval site. Masters students will also produce a dissertation on a research topic germane to historical archaeology. Further information can be obtained by contacting Dr. Audrey Horning . For further information on any of our masters courses, prospective students should contact Dr Mark Gardiner in the first instance.
