Why is this course for me? Tis is the only undergraduate joint degree pro- gramme in Ireland that combines Archaeology and Geology, leading to careers in geoarchae- ology. Archaeology is the study of the extraor- dinary diversity of human experience and long-term human culture, through the material remains left by ancient societies and individu- als, and evidence of their past environments. Geology is the study of the Earth, its composi- tion and the processes that shape its surface and interior, including global warming, earth- quakes, volcanoes and landslides. Archaeology and Geology have common aims of understand- ing past life, dating and interpreting past events, investigating natural materials of interest to people and exploring the relationship between culture and the natural world.


What will I study? Tis is a sample pathway for a degree in Archaeology and Geology. Topics include geo- physics for archaeology, interpreting sites and landscapes, world archaeology, archaeology of Ireland, prehistory, geoarchaeology, sedimen- tology, volcanology, earth resources and applied geology.

Lewis LECTURER


Much of my work has focused on how ancient people used space, on sites and in landscapes, through the study of buried soils. Geoarchaeologists, however, study all aspects of ancient culture, from all periods when there were people on Earth,


even up to how we understand the past in the present. What attracted me to geoarchaeology was the opportunity to link culture and nature, to gain a detailed understanding of how people have interacted with the Earth over time. It also satisfied my interest in arts, humanities and science subjects, as it combines everything from social theory to soil micromorphology, chemistry and physics. Students who are interested in the application of geological and other scientific approaches to solving archaeological problems will find this an exciting and challenging joint degree option unique in Ireland.
