About the Program

Archaeology widens our perspective of the human experience by opening a window onto past societies throughout the world. Archaeology at Drew has the potential to enhance students’ understanding of their chosen regional or topical field by providing a temporal depth to cultural developments. Drawing on the comparative approach of anthropology and the developments in scientific archaeology, the minor includes survey courses of regional cultural history as well as methods courses in field and laboratory analysis.

The program is appropriate for science majors, as it offers experience in the application of scientific methods to the reconstruction of past societies and material culture, and for non-science majors, as it offers global and regionally specific cultural-historical context.
