Welcome
Graduate Archaeology at Oxford (GAO) refers to the graduate community of archaeologists at the University of Oxford. We are made up of MSt, MSc, MPhil, and DPhil students from the archaeology sciences, classical, and archaeology cohorts. All incoming graduate students are immediately members of the GAO and are represented by the GAO Committee. Our students come from around the world and study a diverse range of topics, creating a dynamic and exciting environment in which to undertake studies. This webpage is managed by the GAO committee to provide updates, useful information, and contacts for the committee.
