ARH Archaeolgy ProgramOn this page: Introduction | Programs | Courses IntroductionThe 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 should pay particular attention to language requirements at the graduate level. The Archaeology Specialist (B.A.) 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 (B.A.) 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 (B.Sc.) 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 (B.Sc.) 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 Undergraduate Secretary, Mrs. C. Farquhar, Anthropology (978-6414). ARCHAEOLOGY PROGRAMS1.
