Welcome

Finding Resources


As an Archaeology student, you are expected to find and use high quality literature. You'll need to use a range of different sources and demonstrate your ability to find good results in order to impress your tutors and to develop your research skills.


Books

 

Books can be a great place to start your reading around a topic.

 

Architecture books are located within the wider Art section, shelved under the letter L on the second floor of the JB Morrell Library. There is also a selection of building conservation texts at the King's Manor Library. Many books will also be available online as e-books. Look for the links in YorSearch, under the View It section of each book.
