Ethnoarchaeology is the study of living societies from an archaeological perspective. It is particularly concerned with patterned variability in material culture (architecture, artifacts, and material byproducts) and its relation to human behavior and organization. This "living archaeology" is an important component of a growing body of middle-range theory that archaeologists use to give voice to the mute archaeological record. At the same time, it provides a deeper appreciation of the technological, economic, and symbolic roles of material culture in today's societies. Class work may include both campus and community projects that examine and illustrate the theory, methods, and results of ethnoarchaeology. Prerequisites: ANTH 10400 or ANTH 10700; either ANTH 30200 or ANTH 30500 and one other 300-level anthropology course. 3 credits. (IRR)
