Fieldwork is an integral part of the archaeological process. Whether through excavation or survey, it is one of the primary means by which archaeological data is generated. It is essential that students gain some experience of fieldwork in order to: develop comprehension of how the archaeological record is manifest; the techniques employed to scientifically investigate deposits, sites and landscape; and the means by which they are recorded. It combines the principles of both practice and theory. Fieldwork experience also provides invaluable transferable skills, such as problem solving, decision making, teamwork and personal responsibility.

At the core of this module is participation in at least three weeks of fieldwork and/or related activities by means of a field school or research project, and in certain cases post-excavation or similar activities. Through this, you will master the key skills of field and practical archaeology, and understand how new insights into past societies are generated 'at the trowel's edge'. You will be asked to consider the relationship between research designs and methods, and the way field projects are organised.

It is a requirement of all Archaeology degrees at Southampton, both single and joint honours, that they participate in at least three weeks of archaeological fieldwork, normally on a project organised by the University of Southampton.

Geology and Environmental Geoscience students attend two residential field courses: during the Easter vacation, and at the end of Year 1. The module builds on the ideas and methods learned in other modules in a classroom setting. We start from the fundamentals of "Locate - Observe - Record", developing a range of techniques which can be used to systematise each step, and builds to production of a geological map of a ~5km2 area. Students gain experience visualising the structures in 3D and make and interpret geological cross sections from their maps.

When we speak about protest in Britain today, it divides our society: from the politicians who want to curb our rights and the columnists who worry about protests going too far, to the activists who argue that protesting is one of our democratic rights as citizens. But there is rarely any discussion of the long history behind British protesting. We will explore that history from the mass trespass on Kinder Scout in the 1930s to the boycotts and pickets of the anti-apartheid movement into the 1990s. We will explore different tactics, from strikes to marches to boycotts to riots. We will think about what protestors want, how they fight for it, and whether they have been successful. And we will explore the historical context behind the protests that we see in Britain and around the world today.

The dissertation is an extended piece of work of 8,000 words in length which is the result of an in-depth study of an area of film studies. The subject matter could be a movement, a director, a studio or production company, a national cinema, genre or theoretical issue. It should not replicate assessed work in the other final year module.
