  • The Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield, UK, is an academic department providing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in archaeology and its sub-disciplines based in the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It conducts archaeological associated research with several dedicated research centres. It was founded in 1976, stemming from early archaeology programs in the 1960s as one of the first universities in the UK with a dedicated Department of Archaeology. The department's current research specialisms include Prehistoric Europe, Classical Antiquity, Medieval Archaeology and Post-Medieval Britain, as well as landscape archaeology, funerary archaeology, material culture studies, zooarchaeology, osteology, bioarchaeology, and the archaeology of the Mediterranean. From its inception in the 1960s, Sheffield developed a worldwide reputation for leading the science-based revolution in archaeology and theoretical turns in archaeological interpretation.
