Tool Wrote:<snip............I do think the degree issue needs addressing. I've no problem with BA archaeology, but there does need to be an alternative, either changing some of what is taught in those degrees to reflect the current situation in British archaeology, or a new BSc. It's odd that at Masters level you have a choice as to A or Sc, but not at Bachelors....<snip>.
It depends on the university and decade you studied. I got a BSc and a Ma in archaeology
I reckon the teaching of archaeology needs to be split into Fundemental Archaeology and Applied Archaeology like in Physics.......to produce Theoretical archaeologists, Field (experimental) Archaeologists and those that do both.
It's kinda what goes on at the moment, but everyone seems to pretend it doesn't.
