ANTHR 2220 - Field Course in Iroquois Archaeology

(crosslisted)
(also AIS 2220 , ARKEO 2220 ) # (SBA-AS)
Summer. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

K. Jordan.

This course offers hands-on training in archaeological field methods through survey and excavation at historic-period Iroquois sites in the Finger Lakes region. The majority of class time will be spent engaging in supervised fieldwork, supplemented by lectures introducing archaeological methods and Iroquois history and material culture. Excavations will gather data on Iroquois residential architecture and domestic activities. Students will master field procedures, record-keeping, and interpretation of field data; study Iroquois material culture; and write a short research paper (7–10 pages) that uses data generated by the project to evaluate a topic of anthropological interest. Most class time will be spent off campus; transportation will be arranged by the instructor.
