Question
Ralph,
I'm currently a junior majoring in History and Philosophy with minors in Chemistry and Classical Studies. I wish to get my masters in Classical Archaeology. I'm really confused as to a good graduate school for this master and possibly ph.d program. I will studying abroad next fall at University of Wales Bangor for a semester and will be able to get in some field experience. I was just wondering if you could suggest the best school for me.
Much thanks,
Emily

Answer
Hi Emily,

You are taking one heck of a course load! Good grief....  

Columbia University
University of Pennsylvania
University of Chicago
Oxford University _ UK
Cambridge Universtiy - UK

This is just to name a few.

I did archaeology in Wales many years ago.  Worked on an Iron Age/Bronze Age site near Haverford west at the mouth of the inlet to the harbor.  It sits on a promontory looking out to sea.
