Cambridge vs Oxford archaeology

Hi I know both these institutions are amazing at archaeology but I was wondering which would be a better fit for doing an MSc in archaeological science?

Hi - having done an MSc in Archaeological Science I would say Cambridge has the better set up. Check out the UCL Institute of Archaeology for their MSc though - Archaeology is one few areas where UCL is much stronger than Oxbridge

I’ve got an offer from UCL already to do an MSc in forensic anthropology and bio archaeology.I’m still slightly conflicted between going to Oxbridge or UCL as the program in Oxford is morescientific. The name also carries a lot of weight.
