Archeological Studies
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 120, 201, 204, 212, 242,
320, 330, 340, 361; Mathematics 100, 113, 114, 131, 132,
133, 134; Physics 103, 104, 110, 111. Other recommended
courses include: Environmental Studies: 101, 231, 316, 340,
490, 491 and Computer Science: 101, 150, 151, 311.
Students who wish to apply courses not on this list to the
requirement may petition the Curricular Committee on Archeology
for approval to substitute.
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. It is
recommended that Statistics be taken as early in the major
as possible.
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).
