On the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Archaeology and Anthropology, and with the approval of the General Board and the Board of Graduate Studies, the regulations for the examination in Archaeological Science for the M.Phil. Degree (one-year course) (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 466) have been amended as set out below. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce from three to two the number of written examination papers set, and to introduce into the examination requirements two essays and two reports on practical projects. The regulations have been amended, with effect from 1 October 1999, so as to read:
1. The scheme of examination for the one-year course of study in Archaeological Science for the degree of Master of Philosophy shall consist of:
| (a) |
two written papers, each of three hours' duration, as follows:
Paper 1. Introduction to science in archaeology. |
| (b) | two essays, each of not more than 4,000 words in length, on topics in scientific archaeology chosen by the candidate from a list of topics announced by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology; |
| (c) | two reports, each of not more than 4,000 words in length, on practical projects chosen by the candidate from a list of projects announced by the Degree Committee; |
| (d) | a thesis of not more than 15,000 words in length, including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography, on a topic approved by the Degree Committee. |
2. The examination shall include an oral examination on the thesis and on the general field of knowledge within which it falls; save that the Examiners may, at their discretion, waive the requirement for an oral examination.
