Archaeology's Dirty Little Secrets. In this class, we will ask and answer a series of questions about the role and practice of archaeology in the world today. If archaeologists are trained to investigate the past, what is left for us to study? Who gets to be an archaeologist? How and why do archaeologists hunt for “treasures”, and what do we do once we’ve discovered them? What can we know, and not know, about people in the past? What do archaeologists know about the past that most people would never guess – and why aren’t we telling you? Why are people entirely willing to murder each other over the fate of archaeological sites?

Are Real Men alone capable of discovering the truth behind all this? Archaeology famously involves getting dirty in the line of duty. Unit #1: Just what are these secrets anyway? Unit #2: What has survived for us to find? Unit #3: So how do you find things? Unit #4: How do you get a date? Unit #5: What do you do with what you find? Unit #6: What is involved in the archaeology of people? Russel-Research-Method-in-Anthropology.pdf (application/pdf Object) Statistics One.
