Course Overview
Landscape change is of immense significance in modern Ireland, and is central to both archaeological research and contemporary cultural and natural heritage management. From a discipline that is recognized internationally for its expertise in Landscape Archaeology, this MA offers a one-year, intensive education in landscape archaeology. From a foundation in landscape theory, the programme provides a critical understanding of landscapes, and their components, character and relevance to contemporary society. There is a strong emphasis on field-based learning in a wide diversity of archaeological landscapes around Ireland. Field Survey workshops form part of the programme, teaching the basics in manual surveying, total station survey and geophysical surveys, as well as structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and GNSS (GPS) survey techniques.
