ARCH6125 2026-27
Archaeology Dissertation (60 Credit pathway)
The dissertation is a personal research project of 15,000 words, which is completed with guidance from a personal supervisor. It takes place over the summer period and should involve original research and high-quality formal written presentation of material. The 15,000 limit allows enough space for both analysis and discussion, as well providing the required detailed account of methods used. As part of this module you will give an oral presentation as opportunity to receive feedback from staff and fellow students. -

Archaeology in the Contemporary World
The remit of Archaeology remains to understand the human past through material traces and to comprehend how the pasts we create are structured by, and structure, contemporary social values. But the way Archaeology is practised is increasingly varied, drawing upon an expanding range of methodologies and interpretive approaches, and extending its reach both temporally and thematically. Through presentations of recent research, this module offers both: an introduction to current archaeological thought for Masters students entering programmes without an archaeological background; and, for those already familiar with the discipline, an insight into contemporary research and its disciplinary context at Southampton and beyond. -

Archaeology of Seafaring
Seafaring lies at the heart of human activity across the world and has taken place from the earliest times to the present day. Reflecting this, in recent years the study of seafaring has become an increasingly important area in our understanding of the human past. Current research within the Archaeology Department takes place across a range of areas and periods and is reflected in the module content; from the earliest human occupation of Australasia in c.60,000BP to the development and application of industrial processes for maritime technology in the globalising maritime world of the 18th and 19th century. These periods form part of the case studies, alongside archaeological examples from the ancient Mediterranean, northwest Europe and the Indian Ocean, which are central to the module. You will also be introduced to the basic ways in which seafaring is studied through the archaeological record and you will gain a thorough grounding in the understanding and interpretation of seafaring from a social, economic and environmental perspective. This, along with the case studies, will provide you with a developed appreciation of the global significance of seafaring activity and how it can greatly enhance our overall understanding of the past. -

Architectural and Building Acoustics
The transmission of sound within buildings plays a vital role in architectural design that should be taken account of at an early stage. The module covers two main areas: (i) building acoustics, that is the effects of the materials and overall design of buildings on the transmission of sound within the building and the acoustic suitability of the rooms for their purpose; (ii) auditorium design, that is the specific acoustic design of large rooms intended for concerts, theatre or as lecture rooms. These two areas have some commonality, particularly the reverberance, but also some aspects that are more important in one area than the other. The module has been designed in collaboration with industry leaders Arup and provides hands-on experience of advanced measurement and prediction methods. -
