    About

    Overview Archaeology in societyUrban expansion, road building and railway construction: a lot of building takes place across Europe. Before the construction starts, an archaeological survey is always conducted. This is but one of the reasons why there is a need for archaeologists who can lead excavations and interpret the results. The study of Archaeology not only concerns the past, but also the present: as an archaeologist, you reflect critically on the role of archaeological heritage in our society.The Archaeology programme of the University of Amsterdam devotes attention to the study of pottery, glass, metal and other materials, the relationships between humans and landscape, and the presentation of research results in various media. This degree programme is unique in the Netherlands in how it focuses on Europe – from the Mediterranean to Middle and Western Europe, including, of course, the Netherlands and Amsterdam.Is Archaeology the right fit for you?You find it challenging to dig deep into the past.You love to bury yourself in books, but also love to get your hands dirty.You would like to deal with topical issues relating to archaeological heritage.Doing fieldwork in the Netherlands and abroad is something that interests you.
