Archaeological StudiesMinor

This program combines archaeological courses from Classics and Anthropology to provide students with complementary perspectives on the discipline, focusing on the Mediterranean world and the Americas, respectively. Archaeologists study the material remains of past cultures that survive into the present. Armed with a rich body of theory and a diverse array of methods, archaeologists are able to examine the nature of ancient civilizations and cultures with or without the aid of recorded history.
