Experimental Archaeology & Artefact Studies

We study a broad range of artefact types from prehistory to the contemporary past.

Bringing together staff with diverse expertise in the analysis of artefacts from across the ages, spanning from early prehistory to recent history, our researchers are global leaders in the field of material culture research. Our combined strengths in technological and provenancing studies, experimental archaeology, microwear, digital imaging, biomolecular methods, conservation, museum studies, alongside a strong focus on integrating material culture theory, is what makes us exceptional within the UK and beyond.

Our research strengths are brought together under the Centre for Artefacts and Materials Analysis (CAMA).
