Fourth-year level

Coordinators: E A Carvalho and C A Hope

All fourth-year students are required to complete a dissertation of about 10,000 words (ARY4720) and three other subjects which must include ARY4740 (The methodology of archaeological interpretation).

The attention of prospective honours students is drawn to the fact that much significant work in archaeology is published in languages other than English, and that full access to the ancient past requires knowledge of the languages of evidential documents and texts. Before or in the honours year, therefore, it is desirable that students consider elementary study of a modern foreign (German and French are natural choices) or ancient language, preferably Middle Egyptian or Ancient Greek. ARY4810 offers an introduction to Middle Egyptian language. A non-credited reading subject in Ancient Greek can be organised for interested fourth-year students.

Departments may grant an extension of time for submission of the honours thesis or for final coursework up to the last day of the examination period of the semester in which the work is due. Applications for extensions beyond this date must be made to the Committee for Undergraduate Studies.
