University of Queensland. Double major in anthropology, single major in classics and ancient history. Strangely did Meso studies as the University digs hole in Copan. Haven't come across Brit Uni that covers that area.

Went to Durham, was completely horrified by the fact that I already had more practical experience when I went there than they required for a joint honours degree, got disillusioned and spent most of my 3 years doing Greek History in the Classics Department. Have used one single fact from the entire degree course during my working life. It might look good on paper, but it was a monstrous waste of 3 years when I could have been earning money.

Bradford, cities not much to shout about but the department is pretty good. The downside being that after three years of living on the many cheap takeaways I can barely look a curry in the face, unless I'm really hammered

Maltaire; Dobre Denye. University College London is probably your best bet. Theres someone at Durham who does some stuff on Maya iconography, but there my knowledge runs out. Generally that kind of stuff is left up to the Yanks. try the new HERA database thingie on the main page...
Southampton and Sheffield. Staff at Soton were really good, and the human origins/primatology stuff was really interesting. Not that useful in contract archaeology I must admit, though some of my colleagues seem to belong in the monkey house.....
And Sheffield was cool. Avoided the industrial, stuck with the prehistoric...

Did Edinburgh keep kicking you out or something, BAJR?

plus I did not realise you had to go to classes to get a pass. I would pass the exam but then not get a pass nor non attendance at lectures... [:0]
Where did everyone go to university?
