ANTH 218 - Archaeological Excavation


3 Credit(s)

Archaeology is not only an intellectual pursuit; it is a series of techniques used by its practitioners to retrieve artifacts from the ground in a systematic way. To learn how archaeologists work, how they convert buried remains into cultural patterns that reveal the nature of the past and how cultures change, one should actually learn through the experience of excavating. In this course, students join an excavation team at a local archaeological site and learn by doing and by reviewing the rationale for what is being done.
Prerequisite(s): No prerequisites.
