3.00 Credits
(3 sem. hrs.) Modern archaeology draws much of its theory and goals from anthropology. This course will show how archaeologists use fragmentary traces left by past peoples to develop an anthropological understanding of their cultures. The class will explore the variety of ways archaeologists investigate such things as prehistoric diet, social life, politics, technology, art and religion. Topics to be covered include: the nature of archaeological information, dating techniques, interpretation of material objects and archaeological ethics. Studies from around the world will be used to illustrate the shifts in human history(the origins of agriculture, the origins of cities, ect.), the range of human adaptation in the past and the general sequence of social evolution. The course will provide an understanding of how and why we study past societies, as well as the unique contribution archaeology can make to understanding ourselves. (Fall Only)

(3 sem. hrs.) A fundamental aspect of archaeology is the identification, classification and analysis of the culture remains recovered from archaeological excavations. This course presents students with an introduction to the archaeological record through consideration of an actual archaeological database in a laboratory setting. Background information on the manufacture, use and deposition of various cultural materials will be presented along with the taphonomic processes which lead to the recovery of these materials in archaeological contexts. Students will carry out artifact processing and analysis in an experiential learning situation. The course will utilize collections located at the Center for Military and Historic Archaeology laboratories at Heidelberg University.

(3 sem. hrs.) All archaeology shares the premise that the material culture of a society is systematically related to human behavior and the norms of the larger cultural system not all archaeological data must come from the ground, however.

This course is designed as an introduction to historical archaeology, with an emphasis on the archaeology of military sites. Special attention will be given to the archaeological and historical records associated with 18th and 19th century military battlefields, fortifications, encampments, prisons, and their impact to the larger cultural landscape.
