Description: |
| Archaeology is one of the few social sciences that lends itself well to the application of analytical techniques from the physical sciences. This is largely due to the fact that archaeology relies primarily on physical evidence. This course examines the growing field of archaeological science. The course covers a number of archaeological questions including the age and origin of materials; how things are made; what people ate; their daily activities; their state of health; and how archaeological scientists are able to answer these questions using techniques from biology, chemistry, and physics. The course includes in-class labs in which students apply some of these techniques and a final research project in which the student picks their own archaeologial question and methodology to answer it. Part of the sociology/anthropology concentration and may be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally) |
