- Class Description:
- The goal of this class is to provide an understanding of the methods and techniques used by archaeologists in their investigations. It includes not only hand-on learning of specific analytical techniques, such as faunal and lithic analysis, site survey and excavation strategy, but also focuses on the theoretical approaches that guide the questions we ask and the methods we apply to answer them. This class, therefore, prepares studetnts for more upper-level classes in archaeology. It also leads to a new way of thinking. This way of thinking is primarily critical and analytical. It leads one to think about how data are interpreted, and how theoretical frameworks as well as innate biases color these interpretations. Seeking solutions to interpretive problems requires the creative application of multidisciplinary approaches. Therefore the study of archaeology leads to a new way of thinking about and doing science.
