ANTH 365 - Archaeology of Death

3 Credit(s)

This course concentrates on the information that archaeologists learn about past peoples from the excavation and analysis of their graves and cemeteries. After studying the variability and similarities in modern mortuary customs, we will turn to archaeological examples to apply what we see in those contexts. Students will examine local cemeteries and using the data collected as models for archaeological cemeteries. As warranted.
