The School Curriculum

The archaeological remains of earthworks, buildings and objects are primary sources of evidence for how people lived in the past. From them, we can learn how people went about meeting the daily needs of their society. We can compare their lifestyles to our own time, identifying differences and the similarities, between the two.

Archaeology has a valuable role to play at Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level. In particular, you can apply aspects of the subject in History and Geography programmes as well as GCSE and A Level Archaeology, if these options are open to you.
