For this interdisciplinary minor, in addition to two required courses, students may select a coherent set of at least three elective courses with the help and approval of an advisor in the minor program. This selection should be appropriate to their major and in keeping with their chosen interests, specialized skills, and plans for further study. Such a program design could stress specialized interests such as material analysis or computer graphics among others and choices from various fields in old world, new world, or marine archaeology for which field schools are available.
There are no modern language requirements for the archaeology minor, but students are strongly encouraged to study an appropriate modern language. For Old World archaeology the best modern language choice is French or German, while Spanish is useful for much of New World archaeology.
The minor in archaeology is administered by D. Rohl (Historical Studies). Interested students should consult with him for admission to and planning of the archaeology minor.
