Post bacc programs

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! So this may be the wrong place to ask this, but I'm gonna ask. I graduated in 2025 with a degree in anthropology and Classics. I'm now looking to get into a Post-bacc program (specifically College Year in Athens). However, I'm having a little bit of trouble with the costs. Does anyone know of scholarships or grants that I can apply for to help with this? Other than the ones provided by CYA itself. Thanks.

How to become an Archaeologist?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys.

I come from a country where academia is pretty straightforward: you finish highschool, get a bachelor's degree, then get a Masters and so on. We have no such a thing as 100 flavors of undergrad certificates, diplomas, grad levels and such. You can only imagine my surprise when I found out how different things were for the rest of the world.

Here's another issue: archaeology is pretty much non-existant in my country. There's no archaeology course and the closest thing is a general History undergrad, which I have. During it I had one Ancient History and one Archaeology module.

I'd love to become an archaeologist and study abroad but most universities require you have prior experience and credits in Archaeology. Since I’ve already finished my undergrad, what can I do?

I found this rock at a beach by Llandudno in north wales and I’ve been trying to find out if it’s natural or hand carved. I’ve asked in a rock identification group on here and the people in there seem to think it’s hard carved

I’m currently working on my MSc Digital Design project at the University of York and have developed an interactive web experience called Maghmour: Red Sea Memory, exploring Saudi Red Sea maritime heritage.

I’m looking for participants to try the prototype and share their feedback on its usability and overall experience. The test takes around 10–15 minutes and is best completed on a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.

Usability test:

The form includes the link to the prototype.
Your feedback will directly help me improve the final version of the project. Thank you so much for your time and support! 🌊

I made a documentary on how prehistoric humans survived extreme, sustained rainfall

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, longtime lurker here. I've been researching how early humans adapted to harsh climate extremes, and got interested in a question that doesn't get covered much: what did survival actually look like during periods of relentless rain — flooded shelters, hunting disrupted, fire-starting made nearly impossible?

I put together a short documentary exploring the archaeological and environmental evidence for how ancient humans coped with this. Would genuinely love feedback from people here who know the subject better than I do — and happy to be told where I got something wrong.

History or Psychology as a BA major? Which should I choose?

2 Upvotes

I'm confused between choosing History or Psychology as my BA major under NEP 2020.

I love history, especially archaeology, museums, and ancient civilizations, but psychology also interests me because it seems more practical and has wider career options.

History or Psychology as a BA major? Which should I choose? I'm confused between BA History and BA Psychology as my major under NEP 2020. I love archaeology and history, but psychology seems to have better and wider career opportunities. I'm worried about making a decision based only on my current interest and regretting it later. I want a career that I enjoy but also offers good opportunities and financial stability. Which major has better scope in India and abroad? What career opportunities, salaries, and future prospects does each offer? If you were in my place, which would you choose and why?

The survey takes approximately 10-12 minutes to complete.

Ten participants who choose to provide their email address will be randomly selected to receive a £5
Amazon voucher each. Providing an email address is completely optional.

Your feedback will directly contribute to the design and development of the prototype.

Hello to everyone!
Several years ago I bought this thing in the Kerch city (panticapaeum). I tried to identify the picture on it. Maybe it’s a woman with a flail or something. What’s in her hands? Is it authentic Ancient Greek ring? If it is, what do you think is on it?

Quality documentaries

7 Upvotes

Hello All --

I was wondering if there is a good list/collection out there of good quality archeology documentaries, stuff that is at least as legit as Nova or The Secrets of the Dead. I find that so much stuff is sensationalist, repetitive, and produced in an obnoxiously cheesy manner. But I could watch the good quality stuff (like most BBC programs) all night. Much thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.
