Archeologisch veldonderzoek wordt in deze masterspecialisatie gecombineerd met het bestuderen van historische documenten en de documentatie van mondelinge overlevering. De colleges zijn geïnspireerd op lopende onderzoeksprojecten, die gebaseerd zijn op opgravingen en onderzoeken in de Caribische gebieden en de analyse van materiële overblijfselen.
Career
The last few years have witnessed a favourable development in the Dutch archaeological job market. Since the Convention of Valetta (commonly referred to as the ‘Malta Convention’) on the management of archaeological heritage, funds for carrying out rescue excavations have become available in large building budgets. Employment can therefore chiefly be found in Dutch archaeology on a contract or project basis, either with commercial companies or with (semi-) government institutions: with university institutes, museums, government, provincial and local authority agencies. The archaeology programme in Leiden has been set up in such a way that additional disciplines also provide a sound basis for finding employment in the Netherlands.
