Archaeological Analysis: Introduction to Laboratory Methods
ANTH 265
Fall 2006 not offered
Crosslisting: ARCP 265

To most people, archaeology means excavation. In reality, most archaeological "discovery" occurs in the laboratory where detailed maps are drawn; objects are measured, classified, and counted; samples are chemically or physically analyzed; and data are statistically evaluated. Students will be introduced to laboratory methods through a project-oriented, hands-on format utilizing the collections housed in the Archaeology Laboratory. A major focus of the course will be on the inferential processes through which archaeologists recover and understand the past.
