GEO 201 Introduction to Environmental Archaeology of North America

Over 14,000 years, Indigenous Native American cultures of North America successfully adapted to a variety of environmental settings and changing climates. To fully explore this history, this course adopts an Environmental Archaeology approach which examines various aspects of human-environment interaction through time. Different evidential sources from archaeology/anthropology, paleoenvironmental studies, geology, and ecology, are presented. This course also explores modern archaeological issues such as the role of stakeholders, ethical dilemmas, advocacy, among several others.
