  • ANTH 5500: Anthropology Capstone

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Designed primarily for seniors, the anthropology capstone course allows advanced anthropology majors to review and synthesize the wide body of knowledge that they have gained as majors. Students will be required to participate in biweekly lectures and discussions focusing on the following learning outcomes; 1) Describing variation among humans and their closest relatives across the world and through time; 2) Specification of each of the major sub-fields within anthropology, and contrasting their unique approaches to studying and measuring variation; 3) Applying anthropological research methods to answer questions or solving problems; 4) Explaining aspects of human variation using evolutionary and social theory; and 5) Evaluating and synthesizing scientific hypotheses about human variation using empirical data.

  • ANTH 5714: Primate Field Study

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The course is designed to familiarize undergraduate students with field methodology for studying primate ecology and behavior. The field school will provide basic training in many of the most common methods available to primatologists. Topics will include a general introduction to primate behavior (with specific focus on neotropical Primates), methods of behavioral measurement, general ecology and phenology (emphasis on measuring and monitoring plant food abundance), feeding ecology, and ethnoprimatology. The program will emphasize conservation and will work with the park to continue toward solutions for reducing human-primate conflicts. The structure of the course will be mixed between hands-on field work, lectures, and ultimately the completion of a group field research project.

  • ANTH 5716: Origins Field School

    9.00 - 15.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    In collaboration with the Turkana Basin Institute (TBI; http://www.turkanabasin.org), the University of Utah's Origins Field School addresses the evolutionary history of our place within the natural world. This field program provides hands-on experience in archaeology survey and excavation methods, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, vertebrate paleontology and taphonomy, sedimentary geology, and more. It includes field trips to important archaeological and paleontological sites, diverse ecological settings, and remarkable geological features throughout Kenya's Turkana Basin. Participants will work directly leading TBI-affiliated scientists and conduct fieldwork at hominin fossil-bearing localities and archaeological sites that are the focus of ongoing paleoanthropological research.

  • ANTH 5850: Quant Analysis Arc Data

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course introduces students to the basic quantitative methods required to describe and analyze archaeological data. Each week, students will engage a different problem through labs that require the analysis of real archaeological data. Course meetings will take a seminar format during which students will discuss solutions to the assigned research problems. Course topics are flexible and students are encouraged to propose topics relating to their research. The Department of Anthropology recommends that students who enroll in ANTH 5850 are of Sophomore class standing or higher and have completed either Math 1010 (Intermediate Algebra) or Math 1050 College Algebra (or higher) before enrolling in the class.

  • ANTH 5960: Field School Tonga

    3.00 - 6.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The Kingdom of Tonga is a Pacific island nation with an economy based on subsistence horticulture, cash cropping, fishing, limited market and wage labor and a large remittance economy. While monetary aid from neighboring nations has provided some amenities and market infrastructure, household economies are primarily based on yields from agriculture, kinship relationships and remittances overseas. Students enrolled in this study abroad course will gain training in ethnographic research through independent study and primary research under the direction of the course instructor. Course topics include subsistence in an island environment, Tongan history, language, contemporary culture and the drivers of Tongan cultural change.
