The department is excited to be offering numerous experiential courses that expose students to diverse career paths.

1–5: Students in the “Human Skeleton” course learning about criteria for identifying and describing human skeletal elements. Human skeletal remains can shed light on different aspects of individual and population histories, including age and sex profiles, health, trauma, and dietary behavior.

6-10: Students in “Lithic Technology” course in a knapping session where they learn through hands-on how to make tools from stone. Stone tool technology represents the oldest medium of cultural creativity from which our modern technological ingenuity evolved.

11-12: Students in the “History of Anthropology” course seek to explore the history of theory and practice in the discipline from biological, archaeological, and cultural anthropology perspectives.

13-14: CACHe volunteers learning survey techniques using a total station- a popular device used by archaeologists for mapping sites and artifact distribution.
