The department has an interdisciplinary approach in archaeological, cultural, biological, linguistic, and applied/public anthropology. Through its combination of face-to-face and online teaching and field and laboratory research, the department seeks to advance anthropological concepts by actively investigating questions of relevance to the world. Our faculty commit to creating an antiracist, inclusive, and diverse environment for all. Archaeologists pursuing the secrets of pre-Columbian history are getting dirty to find their answers.
