In addition to providing a thorough grounding in anthropological theory and research methods as a
preparation for professional careers and/or continuing study at the Ph.D. level, our program produces
graduates with sufficient depth and breadth of outlook to meet the need for resourcefulness,
versatility and adaptability in modern society. Areas of strength within the MA program include: (1)
North American and Latin American archaeology; European and Southwest Asian prehistory; the
archaeology of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds; (2) landscape and environmental archaeology,
lithic technology, material culture studies, zooarchaeology, isotope biogeochemistry, bioarchaeology
and mortuary practices; (3) archaeological method and theory, public archaeology, anthropology of art,
ethnographic studies.
