Research Projects
The academic staff and research students of Archaeology at the University of Glasgow are committed to an archaeology that integrates practical, theoretical and scientific approaches in specific geographical or chronological contexts. Beyond long-term commitments to the study of archaeology in Scotland, Britain and northwest Europe, other emphases fall on the Mediterranean (Aegean, Cyprus, Sardinia, Italy) and the North Atlantic regions, from the Mesolithic/Neolithic periods to the modern industrial era. Staff members and their students are involved in numerous fieldwork projects in Scotland, Europe and the Mediterranean.
