The
Archeological Studies major is an interdisciplinary major
administered by the Curricular Committee on Archeology. It
is based on a program of interdepartmental offerings that
covers the range of prehistoric and early historic cultures
in the Old and New Worlds and introduces students to the analytic
tools that facilitate archeological studies. The major draws
on courses offered in the Departments of Art, Classics, Religion,
and Anthropology which emphasize the archeology of the ancient
Mediterranean and prehistoric worlds. The major is interdisciplinary
in two respects. First, it requires students, regardless of
their specific interests, to become acquainted with at least
two archeological research perspectives among the three currently
represented in the College curriculum. Second, it permits
students to explore the interrelations between archeology
and science in a manner that is consistent with current trends
in both study and research. Major.
No fewer than 32 hours of course work distributed as follows:
1.
18 hours of course work including at least six hours each
in two of the three areas of archeology now represented in
the curriculum and drawn from the following: Art 107, 220,
222, 224, and 321; Anthropology 102, 103, 262, 266, 292, 463;
Religion 206, 209. Among these, Anthropology 103 and one seminar
are required of all majors.
2.
Nine hours of course work in mathematics and natural science.
Courses should be selected in close consultation with the
major advisor from the following list: Biology 101, 118, 119,
120, 201, 203, 326; Chemistry 101, 102, 103, 205, 211; Geology
160, 161, 162, 201, 204, 242, 320, 330; Mathematics 100, 113,
114, 131, 132, 133, 134; Physics 103, 104, 110, 111. 3.
Three to six hours of field or laboratory experience (Archeological
Studies 200 or equivalent). This experience can be gained
through internships or participation in an archeological field
school.
4.
Senior Project: All majors are required to undertake a research
project during one semester of their senior year. These projects
should involve more than one area or discipline. Senior projects
may be pursued either within the context of existing seminars
or as independent study courses. In either case, students
must enroll in Archeological Studies 300 (1-3 credit hours)
in consultation with the project advisor. An invitation from
the Curricular Committee on Archeology to participate in the
College Honors Program would replace the senior project requirement.
In
addition, students may choose to concentrate in Classical
Archeology, in which case Latin or Greek 202 (or the equivalent)
and Classics 103 - History of Greece and Classics 104 - History
of Rome are required. This concentration will be registered
on the student's transcript.
Those
students planning to study archeology at the graduate level
should plan to have a reading knowledge of appropriate foreign
languages and a familiarity with all relevant computer applications.
Winter
Term projects, mini-courses, colloquia, and lectures are sponsored
by the Curricular Committee. As in the College I.M. major,
students may take reading courses as a means of integrating
their interests.
For
further information about the archeological studies major,
students should contact Linda Grimm (Anthropology Department),
or Susan Kane (Art Department).
