Archaeology and Classics Discipline+ Catalyst

Past Events

• Studying Identity in the Past 3 December 2024

This workshop addresses the question of ‘identity’ in the humanities—a complex notion that nearly all scholars, regardless of their focus, encounter in their work.

• Core GIS skills for archaeological research: essential map making and introduction to analysis tools 23 - 24 May 2022

This training event will run over two days. Participants will be set advanced preparatory tasks of downloading the open source software QGIS, and preparing a dataset.

• Working with fragments in Classics and Archaeology 6 June 2022

The aim of this in-person specialist training day is to explore the practice and theory of working with fragments, their pitfalls and possibilities. Two expert speakers (Dr Tom Biggs, St Andrews; Dr Anja Slawisch, Edinburgh) will introduce their current research in literature and material culture, as a launch-point for student reflection and discussion.

• Decolonising Archaeology and Classics: Methods and Approaches June 2022 (as part of the SGSAH Summer School)

Decolonising research is a central conversation that affects current practice in archaeology, classics, related disciplines and industries. This session will be led by invited speakers who will present their research and lead into a wider discussion of how PhD students challenge racist and colonialist legacies and develop more ethical approaches in their own research. 

• Introduction to Chronology and Radiocarbon Dating 31 October 2022
