Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This writing intensive course is the capstone seminar for anthropology majors with a focus on archaeology. This course is designed to provide students with an overview of the theoretical approaches that are currently employed in archaeological research and the methods utilized in putting these theories into practice. Students will be expected to design a research project that will include a field work component to collect data and a laboratory component to analyze the data. The research proposal will be written in sections (e.g. formulation of a research question; literature review; methods to be employed in carrying out the research; anticipated results and their significance); each section will be discussed in class, revised and resubmitted before moving on to the next section. The final proposal will be presented in class for feedback before the final written version is submitted at the end of the course.
