Applying to Ancient History with Archaeology personal statement..?

So i'm still deciding on my choices(late as hell i know but, oh well) for archaeology, and one of my priorities is staying close to home and preferably, not having to move. However, there's only one university I can stay at home for that does archaeology local enough to me: that being York; and I was wondering if I could also apply to Leeds for ancient history as I would feel more comfortable with another local choice, and ancient history is another of my interests and isn't too far from archaeology.
My only concern is my personal statement clearly being centred around archaeology; i fear this may prove problematic in proving my interest to the university about what is essentially a different course. Anyone know what I should do, and whether my personal statement will prove fine enough?
