ANTH 3503

Students will study a particular topic of archaeology selected by the instructor. They will examine how archaeology attempts to document and interpret the course of human developments and to trace the emergence and changes of cultural traditions in various areas of the world. The course will emphasize critical evaluation of the methodological, technical, and academic literature relating to archaeological interpretation and how students are able to apply this knowledge to a selected project. Note: The area of study will be established in advance by the department. Please check with the department for proposed offerings. Students may take this course multiple times for further credit on different topics. This is a seminar course.
