Monuments and Landscapes didn't teach much at all, yes there is a project like that but we had lots of people in our group and so everyone had a different 'job' to do. the only mention of the SMR I can recall is that we put it on a list of things we would look at if we were doing a real desktop evaluation. The main aim of the exercise appeared to be to teach us how to budget money...
Bradford does appear to be one of the best for practical training, but only if you choose to do the placement. They do offer specialist modules too, which are excellent if you choose to go into a sciency aspect of archaeology. It does make me think, though that the league tables which put them 18/25 are utter BS. Bournemouth is 24th... Anyone else thinking that in 10 years time we will have thousands of academics running round and about 3 diggers.... We have to get this issue addressed soon!
