Field Archaeology Certificate

Archaeology explores the vanished cultures of the past through recovery and scientific analysis of physical evidence found at ancient sites. Our courses foster a bio-cultural understanding of societies, from materially simple to complex cultures and from the distant past to historical times. The Certificate in Field Archaeology provides a solid foundation in archaeology and it introduces the tools and hands-on skills for participation in field research and cultural resource management.
