Prerequisites: None
Required Course:
Archaeology C159 (Undergraduates): 12 quarter units
or
Archaeology C259 (Graduate Students): 12 quarter units
Please note that to receive graduate credit you must currently be a graduate student seeking either an MA or Ph.D. degree. If you are currently an undergraduate student, or holding a BA/BS degree, you may enroll in the graduate level course work with instructor consent. In addition to all other course requirements, students enrolled at the C259 level must submit a research paper in coordination with the project Faculty Director.
The primary objective of this course is to provide students with a better understanding of how archaeology is practiced in the field. This will be achieved by providing the student with: 1) a classroom-based introduction to the basis of field methods in archaeology, and 2) by providing a practical working knowledge of excavation, survey, laboratory and field recording methods.
