We’ll look at 4 major areas of study in the field including: archaeology, cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Our class time will be mainly lecture and discussion with some hands-on activities as well as case studies. There maybe an opportunity for a field trip to the anthropology museum at UNM or some of the fantastic ruins around New Mexico outside the Wednesday class.
