TOMBS, TEMPLES & BURIED TREASURE: INTRODUCTION TO ARCHAEOLOGY

ANTHROPL 220

This course introduces student to the basic work of archaeology. It aims to dispel popular myths about the field perpetuated by the popular media.

NATIVE NORTH AMERICA TODAY: PEOPLE, CULTURE AND SURVIVAL (DV)

ANTHROPL 305

This course, while assessing anthropology's long-term relationship with Native North America, primarily presents an opportunity for students to engage with the representation of contemporary Native cultures (and identity) through ethnographic reading and study. This will be accomplished through autobiographic, ethnographic, and medical anthropological literatures (and other media forms). Students will be asked to react through discussion, writing, and examination.

WOMEN AND THE SHAPING OF LATIN AMERICAN CULTURE

ANTHROPL 310

This is an advanced course for students who wish to explore the area of recovery and identification of human skeletal remains. This class is offered as an introduction to the field of Forensic Science. It also provides us with opportunity to see an application of scientific knowledge to jurisprudence. A detailed look into the events surrounding death will be examined. Since we will deal directly with the human body, some prior knowledge of the human body will be helpful although we will cover this material in class.
