For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. School of Archaeology The School - the main units of which are the Institute of Archaeology and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology - is made up of three main research and teaching groups: prehistoric archaeology, classical and historical archaeology, and science- based archaeology. Oxford is one of few places in the world where these three aspects of archaeology exist within the same School, something that we see as a key strength and distinguishing feature. Research in the School concentrates on the last 10,000 years; we seek, however, to set these developments against a longer-term record of environmental, biological and climatic change. In the study of historic periods -the Bronze and Iron Age Aegean, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine world and early Medieval Europe -research focuses on combining archaeological and written evidence, as well as on the study of material culture, using approaches which range from the scientific analysis of pottery, glass and metal, to those which relate more closely to art history and anthropology. Recently, the School secured funding from the Welcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the University of Oxford to re-equip the Henry Welcome Ancient Biomolecules Centre. The School is based across several buildings in the centre of Oxford, including the Institute of Archaeology in Beaumont Street, 1-2 South Parks Road and the Dyson Perrins building in the Science area. Further information about the School of Archaeology, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.arch.ox.ac.uk. The School of Archaeology holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Social Sciences Division The School of Archaeology is a department in the Social Sciences Division, one of four academic divisions in the University, each with considerable devolved budgetary and financial authority; and responsibility for providing a broad strategic focus across its constituent disciplines. Thirteen departments, one faculty, and two crossdivisional research units come under the aegis of the division, which spans the full range of social science disciplines with links into the humanities and physical sciences. There are over 700 academic staff, 2,700 graduate students (postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), and 1,900 undergraduates working and studying in the division. The division is established as a world-leading centre for research in the social sciences and regularly sits at the highest levels of international league tables of one form or another. It is the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK and it is also home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as PPE, the BCL, the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies, and the nationally regarded PGCE. We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security. That research is disseminated through innovative graduate programmes and enhances undergraduate courses. For more information please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk.
