ANTH 45818 - NSF-REU Biocultural Research Program

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This hands-on research course will engage students in an experiential learning environment that immerses them in anthropological method and theory. Using the large Byzantine St. Stephen's skeletal collection from Jerusalem as the cornerstone, historical and archaeological information will be synthesized in a biocultural reconstruction of ancient monastic life. Students will conduct original research, share in an active field trip program, and participate in a lecture program delivered by top scholars in the fields of biological anthropology, classics, and Near Eastern studies. Students will develop a suite of methodological skills in the natural and social sciences, explore artifacts and life ways of the study population, delve into the pertinent literature using several world-class libraries, develop skills for collaborative research, and discover the importance of a holistic approach to a fuller understanding of life in the past.
