This course is an in-depth study of the methodological and theoretical foundations of archaeology. The student becomes familiar with the process of archaeological reasoning - the assumptions, models, and techniques scholars have used to analyze and interpret the material record and how these discussions have evolved over time. Topics include the origins of systems of classification, understanding research design, some hands-on recording experience, and discussion of the central debates in archaeological theory from the disciplines origins to the present.
