Topics include approaches to documentary research; building materials and architectural styles; field strategies; identifying archaeologically recovered materials such as ceramics, metal and glass; curating ant the archaeological collection. The hands-on approach includes sessions with materials from a notable site in Fairfield County. Completion of ANTH 1201 and HIST 1015 suggested. Each student undertakes an independent research project focusing on a structure or site in his/her own community. Two field trips are planned.
