Modiwl HPA-4003:
Theory&Interp. in Archaeology

Damcaniaeth a Dehongli mewn Archaeoleg 2025-26
HPA-4003
2025-26
Ysgol Hanes, y Gyfraith a Gwyddorau Cymdeithas
Modiwl - Semester 1
40 credits
Module Organiser: Gary Robinson
Overview

Topics covered include: Social Identity; Gender, Archaeology; Body-centered research; Material Culture; Landscape; Politics and Nationalism; The Built Environment; Art and Archaeology; Ritual and Religion; Death and Burial.

Assessment Strategy

threshold -Students in this band (C- to C+) will demonstrate a satisfactory range of achievement or depth of knowledge of most parts of the module, and will make successful, if occasionally inconsistent, attempts to develop those skills appropriate to the study of History at undergraduate level. In the case of the written assessments, the answers will attempt to focus on the question, although might drift into narrative, and will show some evidence of solid reading and research. The argument might lose direction and might not be adequately clear at the bottom of this category. Written work will be presented reasonably well with only limited errors in grammar, punctuation, and referencing, and not to the extent that they obscure meaning.

-good -Good students (B- to B+) will demonstrate a solid level of achievement and depth of knowledge in all the criteria in the C- to C+ range, and will in addition exhibit constructive engagement with different types of historical writing and historiographical interpretation. Ideas will be communicated effectively and written work will include a good range of sources/reading and demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues and of the existing interpretations expressed in a well-structured, relevant, and focused argument. Students at the top end of this band will engage with and critique the ideas that they come across, and synthesise the various interpretations they find to reach their own considered conclusions. Written work will be correctly presented with references and bibliography where appropriate.

-excellent -Excellent students (A- and above) will show strong achievement across all the criteria combined with particularly impressive depths of knowledge and/or subtlety of analysis. In written work, they will support their arguments with a wealth of relevant detail/examples. They will also demonstrate an acute awareness of the relevant historiography and give an account of why the conclusions reached are important within a particular historical debate. They may show a particularly subtle approach to possible objections, nuancing their argument in the light of counter-examples, or producing an interesting synthesis of various contrasting positions. Overall, the standards of content, argument, and analysis expected will be consistently superior to top upper-second work. Standards of presentation will also be high.

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate a critical awareness for the theory and application of interpretative methods within the social sciences

  • Demonstrate a critical awareness of influential discourses in Archaeology and related disciplines.

  • Demonstrate a critical understanding of a range of theoretical approaches draw from the social and natural sciences and how these might be used to interpret the past.

  • Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of different theoretical approaches in Archaeology

  • Demonstrate the ability to present clear, cogent and evidence-based arguments about ongoing discourses, differing interpretations and theoretical approaches in Archaeology.

Essay

Assessment type

Crynodol

Description

Topic choice: Choose something that interests you and feel free to contact the Coordinator to discuss. How has archaeological theory dealt with the major research issue of __ ? (Issue to be chosen in consultation with Coordinator.) What are the methodological implications of different theoretical approaches to this problem? Use a case study or two to illustrate a possible research design for a research project on some aspect of this problem.It would be wise to have some idea by Reading Week. Students are asked to submit an outline in advance and to discuss this outline with the Coordinator. The outline can be very general or it can be more detailed. The more detail, the more the Coordinator can advise you. The main purpose of this essay is to analyse and evaluate different theoretical approaches to a major research problem in archaeology. In consultation with the coordinator, choose a major research question in archaeology that interests you. Write an essay that presents an analysis of theoretical and methodological issues associated with it, using examples / case studies that interest you. The major thrust of the essay will be theory but you should address methods to a degree. Please note: it is not expected that you give a definitive answer that ‘resolves’ these longstanding problems!
