In consultation with staff, students nominate a topic related to the course around which they can design a practical, replicable or experiential archaeological experiment. This involves a systematic approach informed by scientific method to formulate research aims, hypotheses, rationales, and experiment designs. Students video record themselves carrying out the experiment in a controlled environment. ARCS2010 students have cast bronze, created fire projectiles, and recreated ancient perfumes – supervised in the secure School of Social Science Archaeological laboratory, and Archaeology Teaching and Research Centre (ATARC) on UQ's St. Lucia campus. Students edit footage to produce a 10 minute presentation providing aims/hypotheses; rationale; literature review; video evidence conducting the experiment itself; discussion and implications; conclusions and references. Students are tutored in audio-visual production and post-production techniques, and given access to specialist materials (are assigned from the course budget). Selected presentations are uploaded to a dedicated YouTube channel with some high ranking students going on to publish their experiments in academic journals, making this a well-suited technique for establishing student research portfolios or promoting media engagement. As this technique spans much of a standard course duration it is recommended to be more highly weighted at approximately 45% of the total course grade.
