NOTE: Students in this class will benefit greatly by studying abroad in Mexico in the summer of 2009!

In this class, we will survey the theories, methods, and tools archaeologists use to help make sense of our human ancestors and the environments in which they lived.

We will also use historic and pre-historic evidence as a guide to understanding "daily life" among these groups.
