The Archaeology Program focuses on the study of past human societies
primarily through their material remains, or “material culture.” Archaeologists
explore the nature of and changes in past cultures around the world through
survey, excavation and analyses of stone tools, pottery, bones, plant remains,
architecture
and other cultural residues. Some of the major research foci of archaeologists
are the nature of hunter-gatherer technology and economy in the Pleistocene,
the origins of agriculture, pastoralism, urbanism and politically complex states,
the workings of ancient exchange systems, and the development of class-based
and gender-based political and economic inequalities in complex societies.
Working archaeologists often specialize geographically, chronologically or
thematically.
Classical archaeologists, for example, specialize in the cultures of the ancient
Greco-Roman world, while palaeoethnobotanists explore ways that botanical residues
of ancient and prehistoric cultures can inform us about their economies and
social systems. The specialist programs allow students to explore archaeology
in a multidisciplinary
setting.
Students in either specialist program should consult the program
coordinator or faculty members in their intended areas of specialization
for advice on
the selection of courses. Those intending to go on to graduate studies
in departments
such as Fine Art History and Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations should
pay particular attention to language requirements at the graduate level.
The Archaeology Specialist (Arts program) is designed for students
in the Social Sciences or Humanities, who may be interested in such fields
as prehistoric,
Aegean, Classical, historical and Near and Middle Eastern archaeology.
See details below. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies should
combine
it with study of the ancient and modern languages relevant to their primary
area of interest.
The Prehistoric Archaeology Major (Arts program) is designed for
students whose interests are in prehistoric archaeology, and who want to
combine
it with a Major in a field not traditionally associated with archaeology.
See
details below.
The Archaeological Science Specialist (Science program) allows students
with science backgrounds to obtain training in areas of study related
to archaeometry,
geoarchaeology, osteoarchaeology, paleoethnobotany, and other archaeological
sciences. See details below.
The Archaeological Science Major (Science
program) allows students doing a Major in the mathematical or life
sciences to combine that Major with
training in archaeological sciences. See details below.
Students are encouraged to seek counselling and information about
this program from the Anthropology Undergraduate Administrator/Student Counsellor,
