David Beard MA
Archaeological Tutor

I lecture in Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Archaeology and my particular areas of interest are the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Church and the Development of Castles.

I am interested in the use of the Internet for teaching Archaeology and I teach courses on Archaeology and the Internet. I am the author of, and online tutor for the University of Oxford’s online course:
“The Vikings: Raiders, Traders and Settlers”.

When I lived in England, I taught courses in Archaeology for the following universities:

Department of Continuing Education, University of Oxford
Faculty of Continuing Education, Birkbeck College, University of London
The Centre for Continuing Education, University of Essex
London College of the University of Notre Dame

I am the Director of Studies for the Oxford Experience summer schools held at Christ Church,
Oxford, and I teach several classes in archaeology for the summer school.

I also teach archaeology for the Duke University and University of North Carolina Alumni Associations Programme in Oxford.

You can find details of my current archaeology courses here,   lectures and day schools here and  one-day field trips here.
