Hide-Your course
Drawing on a range of expertise in prehistoric and historic landscapes, the MA (Landscape Archaeology) offers an intensive one-year programme in landscape archaeology. The course provides a critical understanding of the study and interpretation of landscapes, and their components, character and relevance. Landscape has become an increasingly significant concept in modern Ireland, and is a central part of both academic research and contemporary heritage management.
The course comprises six modules:
• Landscape perspectives—theory of landscape studies
• Interpreting landscapes—reading archaeological landscapes
• GIS and Landscape Archaeology
• Managing landscapes—archaeological landscapes and planning
• Investigating landscapes—methods and sources
• Presenting landscapes—field school.
