ANTH 0582 - INTRODUCTION TO ARCHEOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course introduces archaeology through the tools, theories, and discoveries that reveal how people lived, adapted, and shaped the world before written history. Using a cross-cultural lens, we examine major developments in the human past such as the rise of inequality, food production, urbanism, and societal collapse. Students engage with archaeological methods used in the field, museum, archive, and laboratory through lecture and hands-on activities, and consider the future of archaeology through community-led and decolonized approaches.
