The University of the Philippines Diliman School of Archaeology is a degree-granting unit of the University of the Philippines Diliman specializing in archaeological studies surrounding the discovery, excavation, analysis, interpretation, and preservation of Southeast Asian and Philippine archaeological relics.[1]

Previously known as the Archaeological Studies Program (ASP), the program was elevated into a degree-granting unit of the University of the Philippines Diliman on November 10, 2022.[2]

History

The Archaeological Studies Program, under the Office of the Chancellor, was first constituted on August 24, 1995, as a multidisciplinary program under the supervision of a Director and a Coordinating Council. The Coordinating Council of the Archaeological Studies Program was composed of the Director of the ASP and the deans of the College of Arts and Letters, College of Engineering, College of Science, College of Social Science and Philosophy, College of Architecture, and Asian Center.

The ASP would be elevated into the School of Archaeology on November 10, 2022, to meet the needs of the increasing student population of the program, facilitate increasing research work, and attract international research grants.
