The department has particular strengths in the early medieval period, with specialists in the Celtic, Pictish and Viking archaeology of Britain, Ireland and North Atlantic. This programme offers an introduction to the theory and practice of medieval archaeology, with a wide range of research-led optional courses available, both in archaeology and cognate subjects, which encourage in-depth critical examination of a range of themes.
