Interdisciplinary data recovery and methods of analysis from geology, soil sciences, botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, and ecology have resulted in specialized sub-fields in archaeology, including zooarchaeology, paleobotany, raw material sourcing, geophysical and geomorphic analysis, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and seasonality studies. Students examine the methods and theories employed by specialists in these fields to reconstruct past environments and explore the relationships between humans and important environmental resources and variables. Prerequisite: ARCH 1110 or ARCH 2010; any 2000 level ARCH course. GEOG 1110; GEOG 1120 and GEOL 2050 recommended but not required. Note: Students who have credits for ANTH 3260 may not receive additional credit for this course.
