    Description
    An introduction to the study of archaeological concepts, methods, and theory as well as human prehistory. The course will cover many of the fundamental principles of archaeological research and provide an overview of human prehistory from the earliest evidence of culture up to the development of literate civilizations. We will also explore the types of questions archaeologists ask about the human past and the scientific methods used to address these questions.
