Course Description
ANTH102M - Introduction to Archaeology For more than 100 years, archaeology has fascinated scholars and the public, from studies of our earliest ancestors to Howard Carter's discovery of King Tut's tomb to appearances in mainstream pop culture. This introductory course surveys the rise of human civilization from the first apes to walk on two legs over 2.5 million years ago to the development of complex societies. This course will cover the shift from hunters and foragers to the development of food production, and how the shift in the environment allowed humans to develop to today’s level of complexity. Students will be required to engage in fieldwork experience. Prerequisites: Placement into ENGL110M. (Fulfills Social Science requirement)
