ANTH 1300 - Introduction to Archaeology

Credits: 3
Students become knowledgeable about the ways in which prehistoric cultural remains provide an understanding of the shared cultural life ways of humankind. In addition to surveying basic archaeological theory, field methods and the laboratory analysis of field data, students learn about the evolution of culture, the growth and development of early Old World and New World civilizations, how cultures function, why they change, what similarities they shared broadly among cultures, and why cultures differ from one another.
