MPhil Archaeology and Palaeoecology in Belfast United Kingdom | Queen's University Belfast

When you join Archaeology & Palaeoecology, you'll be entering a vibrant research community within one of two interdisciplinary clusters: Environmental Change & Resilience (ECR) for environment-focused studies, or Culture & Society (C&S) for humanities-oriented Archaeology research.
Palaeoecology and Scientific Archaeology projects examine long-term ecological shifts, human-environment interactions, and climate resilience through techniques like pollen analysis, tephrochronology, tree-ring dating, and radiocarbon methods. Our work often crosses disciplinary boundaries, such as studies on wetland hydrology and peatland restoration. The C&S cluster investigates cultural artifacts across time and geography, merging cutting-edge scientific approaches with theoretical frameworks to reconstruct past human societies, bridging the gap between arts and sciences.
