ANTH 442. Northwest Coast Archaeology. 4 Credits.
This course examines the more than 12,000-year-old archaeological record of the Northwest Coast of North America. We begin by establishing the ecological and ethnographic background for the region and then study how these have shaped archaeologists' ideas about the past. Next, we study the contents of sites and consider the relationship between data, interpretation, and theory. Throughout the term, we discuss the dynamics of contact and colonialism.
Requisites: Prereq: ANTH 145 or ANTH 150.
