This course introduces the methods, goals, and theoretical concepts of archaeology. Students will discuss the major methodological and theoretical developments in the history of this field and will learn how archaeologists analyze cultural remains from the archaeological record. These material remains are often fragmentary (artifacts, ecofacts, features, sites, etc), but archaeologists can employ various methods to construct interpretations about people in the past.
