Canterbury Christ Church University Archaeology Programme

Do you want an Archaeology degree with an option of up to 8 weeks of fully-funded fieldwork at an incredible Roman settlement site? . . We place a strong emphasis on fieldwork training during our degree. It's an incredible learning environment to build up archaeological knowledge, technical skills, and confidence, and gain experience in aspects such as teamwork, independent working, mentoring others, site health and safety, and adaptability to different working environments. . . We are so fortunate to be partnered with the long-standing Culver Archaeological Project @culverproject.co.uk in East Sussex where our students are trained in survey, excavation, and post-excavation, and get to work alongside a wonderful team of volunteers from @brightonhovearch. The sheer quantity of different artefacts and ecofacts, and the varied features make it an exceptional training ground! . . We have a fantastic track record of our graduates moving straight into commercial archaeology positions - their fieldwork training is an important step towards this! . . #archaeology #lovearchaeology #fieldwork #degree #university #ucas #Roman #romanarchaeology

Public talk at CCCU
Thursday 17 October
Newton (Ng07), 7pm

Come hear our own Dr Jay Ingate present his current research to the Friends of Canterbury Archaeological Trust on campus.

Free to students!

‘Selling water to the sated: exploring the role of Roman archaeology in transforming public perceptions of Canterbury’s water supply’

This paper will explore how perceptions of water are greatly affected by historical narratives and the creation of a sense of place. In turn, it will propose that greater awareness of the archaeological evidence of Roman Canterbury could play a role in changing public perceptions of the city’s modern water supply and inspire greater community engagement in meaningful sustainability reforms.
