Honors Introduction to Archaeology

Catalog description

54 hours lecture per term. This Honors-enhanced course focuses on anthropological archaeology, a specialized branch of anthropology that studies cultural and physical anthropological evolutionary development. Archaeology uses scientific methods and theories to trace human ecology from the past to the present. Archaeologists deal with remains of past societies such as tools, shelter, remains of animals eaten for food, and other objects that have survived. These remains, termed artifacts, are used to reconstruct past behavior. Field trips may be required outside of regularly-scheduled class times.
