In this course, students will develop some of the basic intellectual skills and background needed to be a practicing archaeologist. By the end of this course, you should be able to break down and evaluate archaeological arguments on a range of key topics in terms of their theoretical approach, research design, and logic.  You should also be able to create and defend your own proposals for research.
