Archaeology<br />
When it comes to archaeology, few places in the UK have more to <strong>of</strong>fer than<br />
the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong>. It was Roman Venta Belgarum (the market place <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Belgii tribe) and the Anglo-Saxon capital <strong>of</strong> the Kingdom <strong>of</strong> Wessex. These days,<br />
<strong>Winchester</strong> is better known for its outstanding medieval history, architecture and<br />
institutions, including the cathedral, Bishop’s Palace and <strong>Winchester</strong> College.<br />
Regional monuments such as Stonehenge and Fishbourne Roman Villa provide<br />
rich teaching resources, and there is a local excavation ongoing at a former<br />
leper hospital. But it is not just local sites that are <strong>of</strong> interest: <strong>Winchester</strong><br />
archaeologists are also engaged in research as far afield as Africa, the Caribbean,<br />
the Middle East and the Caucasus, and students have the opportunity to join<br />
staff on many <strong>of</strong> these research projects.<br />
