An understanding of the Roman world is incomplete without an understanding of archaeological evidence for the development and spread of Roman society. The story of Roman expansion can be told through the archaeological remains that constitute the Roman military and civilian landscape. This course will concentrate on the archaeology of Europe and the Western Roman Empire, with a special emphasis on Roman Britain. This evidence complements other historical and material culture courses, 'Britain before the Romans' and 'post-Roman Britain'.

3,000 word essay (50%), short test (10%), tutorial paper and presentation (15%) and critical review of a selected monograph or selection of articles (25%).
