Overview
Historical sites and ancient artefacts can lose their value when excavation and preservation methods are poorly managed or incorrectly documented.

Archaeology Essentials explains archaeological time periods, site surveying methods, and research techniques used before excavation begins. In Archaeology Essentials, learners will explore excavation procedures, documentation methods, dating techniques, and post-excavation analysis used in archaeological studies. This course also explains how artefacts and historical sites are interpreted and protected for future generations.
By the end of Archaeology Essentials, learners will build stronger knowledge of archaeology, improve awareness of cultural heritage protection, and gain confidence in understanding excavation and conservation processes used within archaeological and historical environments today.
