    Description
    Introduction to archaeology as the scientific study of the human past through analyses of material remains. The course reviews archaeological methods of survey, excavation, laboratory analysis, interpretation and publication; the history of archaeological theory; the development and implementation of Cultural Resource Management (CRM); and ethical principles guiding modern archaeological practice. Selected cultural sequences are integrated into the course to highlight the ways in which archaeological practice has contributed to our knowledge of the past.
