Established in 2007, we are the UK's youngest archaeology department, located in one of Europe's oldest universities. As befits the 'Global University of the North', archaeology at Aberdeen has a special high-latitude focus that is found nowhere else.
Reflecting this, our staff are prominent researchers and fieldworkers in Northern Europe, Scandinavia, the North Atlantic and the circumpolar region from Siberia to the Canadian arctic. Closer to home, the archaeology of Scotland is a natural priority.
This website provides details of our teaching and research, laboratories and fieldwork projects, the extensive university museum collections and the world-class facilities of the King's College campus.
