Students who wish to specialise in Archaeology have to choose the major in Anthropology because there is no separate Archaeology major.
Study for a Bachelor of Arts
Archaeology students are encouraged to include one or more lower-level papers with a focus on Social Anthropology in their course (including the joint ANTH 103 paper).
They may also wish to take Biological Anthropology courses concerned in part with the study of human biological remains from archaeological sites. These courses are offered through the Department of Anatomy. Students with strong interests in archaeological techniques and science may wish to credit other relevant science and surveying papers in their degree.
