This course is intended to provide students in archaeology with a thorough understanding of bioanthropological and osteological methods used in the interpretation of prehistoric societies by introducing bioanthropological methods and theory. In particular, lab instruction stresses hands-on experience in analyzing the human skeleton, whereas seminar classes integrate bioanthropological theory and application to specific cases throughout the world. Lab and seminar-format class meet weekly. M. C. Lozada. Winter.

PQ: Introductory course in archaeology. This course introduces the use of animal bones in archaeological research. Students gain hands-on experience analyzing faunal remains from an archaeological site in the Near East. Topics include: (1) identifying, aging, and sexing animal bones; (2) zooarchaeological sampling, measurement, quantification, and problems of taphonomy; (3) computer analysis of animal bone data; and (4) reconstructing prehistoric hunting and pastoral economies (e.g., animal domestication, hunting strategies, herding systems, seasonality, pastoral production in complex societies).

Ideas about South Asian states have often helped shape scholarly and popular understandings about the origins, roles, and forms of state power more generally. Indian states have played a role in discussions as diverse as those about "primary state origins" to notions such as "oriental despotism," "the segmentary state," "feudalism," and "patrimonial states," among others. We examine some of these concepts in the context of a nonsystematic survey of precolonial South Asia, looking at the degree to which classic and contemporary views of state origins, operation, and definition help us to understand actual historical and archaeological inf ormation. K. Morrison. Not of f ered 2009-10; will be o f fered

Although this course is concerned with Holocene vegetation history and the impact of humans on that vegetation, concepts and lab skills presented can be applied to a variety of disciplines. Initial lab exercises prepare students for the primary focus of the course: the collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation of a pollen core from a local wetland. We take one weekend field trip to collect the core and observe local vegetation. Students then analyze and interpret pollen from the core, culminating in an in-class research symposium. K. Morrison. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
