SOA 165 - Introduction to Archaeology

3.00 credit hours
Introduces concepts, principles and methods used to reconstruct cultural history and prehistory and to form generalizing theories about human society, social organization and social and cultural change over long periods of time. Explores sequences of cultural development learned through archaeological analysis and how such analysis flows from data and hypothesis testing. Assignments involve scientific examination of sets of archaeological data and how the particular case or site relates to larger theories about human society. Students will explore how archaeology contributes to a better understanding of contemporary social issues and their place in human society.

Core: Science.
