Archaeology and Anthropology is an interdisciplinary course that explores human societies, cultures, and their development over time. It combines the study of past human activity through material remains with the examination of contemporary and historical societies to understand human diversity. Archaeology focuses on excavating, analyzing, and interpreting artifacts, structures, and biofacts to reconstruct past ways of life. Anthropology, on the other hand, examines cultural, social, biological, and linguistic aspects of humanity, providing insights into how humans have evolved and adapted across different environments.  

The course typically covers topics such as human evolution, ancient civilizations, material culture, ethnography, and social organization. Students learn research methods like excavation techniques, laboratory analysis, ethnographic fieldwork, and theoretical frameworks for interpreting human behavior. The curriculum may include practical fieldwork, where students gain hands-on experience in excavation and analysis, as well as theoretical study of human societies across different time periods and regions.  

By studying Archaeology and Anthropology, students develop critical thinking, analytical, and research skills applicable to careers in heritage management, museum curation, academia, cultural resource management, international development, and various other fields. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of human history and culture, fostering an appreciation for the complexity and diversity of human life.
