Students explore the current issues and controversies in the field of paleoanthropology. Prerequisites: ANTH 236 Credits: 3 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (3-0)
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of archaeology. The conceptual foundations and historical relationships between archaeology and the geosciences are explored. The major focus of this course is on the methods and techniques borrowed from the geosciences (geology, geography, geomorphology) that relate to the reconstruction of the archaeological landscape. Prerequisites: ANTH 201 Credits: 4 Clock Hours - (Lect-Lab): (4-0)
-
4.00 Credits
This off campus course introduces students to the rich culture, archaeology and history of Greece through an intensive study of some of the major archaeological, historical and cultural sites and locations in Greece and the Aegean Islands. Students will be expected to participate in all activities and also conduct independent research on topics of their choice.
