25% Archaeology and 25% Egyptology
Fieldwork is not a requirement for 25% Archaeology or 25% Egyptology, nor for Combined Honours degrees. Nevertheless, the Department would like interested students with ALGY components to have the opportunity to take part. If you wish to be considered for a placement please contact Jane Stockley - our HLC Fieldwork Officer.
Inclusivity
Archaeological fieldwork can be physically demanding and requires an ability to undertake certain tasks (such as walking, and carrying/using tools and equipment). At Liverpool, our Disability Support Team is committed to supporting students and considering barriers to participation. On student request, we can discuss reasonable adjustments to enable participation for disabled students or provide alternative (non-field) options as appropriate, some closely associated with the local fieldwork.
We abide by the Higher Education Academy’s good practice guidelines for inclusive fieldwork training.
