Facts and figures

The Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH) consists of three research areas that in their own way examine the past. 

The department has an internationally oriented environment in archaeology, Norway’s only education in conservation, and the Nordic region's largest history environment.

The courses cover archaeology from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages, artifact and painting conservation, and history from antiquity to our time.
