Archaeology
Archaeology, which is the study of past human activities, is of interest to a wide variety of people. This study, which is housed in the anthropology program, also works together with Art History, History and the Physical Sciences. Students at Oakland University who choose the archaeology concentration are trained in an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving. The program, as laid out, prepares students for further graduate studies or involvement in their local community museums and historic preservation activities. We work in both the historic and prehistoric periods. In addition to a wide range of courses, we provide field, lab and internship opportunities. A student Anthropology Club provides students a chance to meet others with similar interests.
Anyone interested in the program should make an appointment with the director to fill out the necessary forms. Call the Archaeology Lab at (248) 370-2434 to make an appointment. We look forward to meeting you.
A minimum of 28 credits are required for this program:
- AH 100, AN 101 and 222
- One of the following: AH 310, 312, 314, 380; AN 282, 370, 371, 380, 384, 392

- At least 4 elective credits. The following courses are recommended for those who wish to expand their background: AH 322, 326; HST 261, 306, 367 and PHY 107
Students are reminded that progessional conservation work requires knowledge in botany and chemistry.
