Anthropology is a discipline based outside of the classroom. All of the concepts, facts, and examples presented in our 1102 class are based on research conducted by real Anthropologists. And here's your chance to do it yourself.
Every year, UGA offers students the opportunity to learn about archaeology by doing archaeology. This 12 credit hour summer course is designed to teach students basic field and research skills by providing a hands-on learning experience. You'll learn how to conduct excavations, identify artifacts, conduct geophysical survey with tools like Ground Penetrating Radar and Magnetic Gradiometry.
If you think that archaeology is something that you might like to do, or even just something cool to do for credit during the summer, check out this link to the UGA Department of Anthropology page discussing this summer's two field school choices. One of them even has a beach (which is honestly the least awesome thing about Ossabaw Island, GA)!
If you want to know more, let me know and I'll answer any questions and point you in the right direction.
