Research

The character and strength of research undertaken by Sheffield Archaeology is captured under three broad themes that reflect the range of our research and its cross-disciplinary, embedded nature. We administer our research through four resource clusters that ensure the adequate distribution of research support and enable monitoring of returns in terms of research income and training. In addition, we recognise the long-term convergence of research programmes on particular areas through a number (currently 7) of responsive research centres.
