Centre for Applied Archaeology and Heritage Management

Welcome to the Centre for Applied Archaeology and Heritage Management (CAAHM), an exciting initiative launched by the University in June 2011 and hosted by the Archaeology Department.

CAAHM is designed to be the University's outward-facing portal to the professional and non-professional archaeological and heritage community. Bringing together the research and expertise of academic staff and postgraduate research students as well as of a growing cohort of international Honorary Research Fellows, the centre is international in scope - we are currently research active on all continents apart from Australia. 

While our research scope is global, our logo, the 12th-century Winchester Moot Horn, reflects our rootedness in local history and archaeology. The Moot Horn, which can be seen in Winchester's archaeological museum, was traditionally used in civic functions in the City.

Current research themes

True to our goal, we embrace a wide range of national and international themes, all of which emphasise our interest in applied methodologies and heritage management.

• Developing high-quality archaeological training pedagogies
• Community archaeology
• Buildings and church archaeology
• The archaeology of death and disease
• The archaeology of warfare
• Landscape archaeology
• Interfaith dialogue through the study of religious heritage

Applied archaeology through consultancy

In addition, the Archaeology Department has a thriving consultancy arm, ARCA Archaeological Associates. Launched in 2005, ARCA specialises in geoarchaeology, geophysics and geomatics and carries out work nationally and internationally.
