Historical Archaeology examines physical evidence from the past two millennia - the era documented by written records.
By studying and interpreting these artifacts, we gain insights into human experiences, ranging from the expansion of the Roman Empire to Viking Age daily life.
For those drawn to History degrees with an interest in ancient sites, artifacts, or museum studies, our BA in Historical Archaeology offers the perfect combination.
Our department is celebrated for its warm, inclusive atmosphere where students build close relationships with faculty. You'll enjoy numerous engagement opportunities, from participating in the Archaeology Society to conducting overseas research. Located in York's city center at the historic King's Manor - a stunning Medieval structure - we also feature specialized campus facilities.
