Co-Directors: Professors Mary Savina and Nancy Wilkie

Archaeology is an interdisciplinary study of material artifacts in their cultural and environmental context. Students analyze and interpret material remains and archaeological interpretations.

Can I major in it? A concentration is offered in this field.

Topics explored: Geology, anthropology, culture, and environment.

How to get started: SOAN 110: Introduction to Anthropology and GEOL 110: Introduction to Geology or GEOL 120: Introduction to Environmental Geology are courses required for the concentration that are appropriate for first-year students. Students interested in the concentration should consult with the directors early in the sophomore year at the latest to devise a plan to meet the requirements of the program.
