Research centres and themes

Archaeology at Southampton has a broad range of research interests. Currently, it is structured around Research Centres, units and discrete research groups, and also around four broad Research Themes. Members of the various themes, Centres and other groups are all engaged in collaborative research and teaching activity that cuts across these divisions.

The research summaries collected here only represent a small proportion of the research which is currently and has recently been undertaken in the department.
