ANT 204 ARCHAEOLOGICAL INDISPENSABLES
Archaeological anthropology distilled to its essentials for students new to archaeology as well as for those seeking to level-up competencies directly applicable to internships and field schools. Drawing on case studies from near and far, this course reframes methodological and conceptual pillars of archaeology as indispensable to the work of understanding momentous cultural phenomena for their nuance and complexity. Lectures, discussions, readings, and assignments introduce and explore some of the driving questions of twenty-first century archaeological research while applying archaeological methods and concepts in lab assignments.
