It provides a global perspective on world history, from our earliest ancestors in Africa and the key developments in farming and city life through to the modern world. Students gain strong theoretical knowledge in a broad range of subjects (including the major subject streams of Australia, ancient civilisations, and Palaeolithic), as well as training in the practical aspects of archaeological research. Students are also able to actively participate in field and laboratory research.
The Archaeology Program has close connections with Aboriginal Affairs Victoria and Heritage Victoria, as well as active student exchange agreements with major institutions in China, England, France, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Mexico. A formal co-operation agreement also exists with the heritage management consultancy Godden Mackay Logan Pty Ltd, which provides practical commercial experience for students. Indigenous Australian archaeology forms an important part of our teaching and research, with ongoing fieldwork in Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Northern Queensland and South Australia.
