    An opportunity to learn specialized techniques and approaches presently in use in archaeology. In any one semester, the course concentrates on one of a range of possible themes, including lab methods, field methods, statisti­cal methods, computer applications, or text-based approaches. The specific topic varies but focuses on instructing in the mechanics of the selected tech­nique, its application to real archaeological problems, and the interpretation of the results. May appeal to students from other disciplines who wish to gain applied expertise in a topic that is relevant to their own field of study. Interested students should contact the instructor to find out which topic will be taught in any one semester. May be repeated for credit under a different methods title.
  
  • ANTH 486 - Historic Artifacts


    Class Hours: 3
    Lab/Discussion: 0
    Credits: 3

    Focuses on techniques for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data from historic period (1500 to present) artifacts commonly found on North American archaeological sites. Analytic techniques, including classification, quantification of attributes, relating artifact patterns to human activities, and statistical interpretation are taught in a hands-on environment. Outlines the history of technology as a means to identify the age and use of artifacts. Considers that all objects occurred as a thought before they were made material and how to work backwards from the material to the thought.
  
  • ANTH 487 - Geoarchaeology


    Class Hours: 3
    Lab/Discussion: 0
    Credits: 3

    Prerequisite: ANTH 244  or GEOS 200 , or instructor permission
    Surveys geological methods and techniques used to investigate archaeologi­cal research questions. Includes sedimentary and geomorphic processes affecting the formation and preservation of archaeological sites; methods of paleoenvironment and paleoclimate reconstruction, and radiometric dating techniques. Illustrates the importance for archaeologists to understand the geological processes that affect archaeological sites—before, during, and after people have been there. Understanding these processes is crucial to accurately reconstructing the dynamics of human behavior.
