  5. General Statement:

    At DU, students interested in an M.A. in Anthropology with a focus in Historical Archaeology will engage in scholarship that is both theoretical and applied. The traditional strength of the department is a concern with the interaction of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and other variables in human affairs. Drawing on the resources of our Museum of Anthropology, we are concerned with how the material world expresses and sustains human relationships and ways of thinking. Faculty in the department have been involved in a wide range of historical archaeological research including the archaeology of Japanese American internment during WWII, Colonial and historic period Central America, the Colorado Coalfield War project, the archaeology of the Mexican borderlands, urban archaeology, the search for historic sites using geophysical methods, and a wealth of CRM projects. Many resources are available to graduate students at DU. The archaeology lab includes comparative collections of historic artifacts, as well as an historic artifact reference library, and work space for students. The department currently holds the collections from the Amache internment camp and several Southeastern Colorado Hispanic sites. The DU Museum of Anthropology, which is very much a teaching museum, also curates many historic artifacts in its collections. All of these collections are available for student research. Additionally, students have the opportunity to be trained on and operate state-of-the-art geophysical prospecting equipment. Students interested in public archaeology are encouraged to work with the museum and take advantage of our public gallery. Faculty in allied departments, including history and geography, are other resources for our students.

Graduates of the Master’s program are consequently prepared for professional careers in historical archaeology in CRM, museums, and heritage preservation. Students are also well prepared to enter doctoral programs to continue their education.

  5. General Statement:
    The archaeology program at the University of Illinois emphasizes strong graduate training in archaeological methodologies, comparative approaches, theory and fieldwork. The 2010 National Research Council assessments recognized our Department’s success by ranking us as No. 1 out of 82 comparable graduate programs in “Percent of Students Receiving Full Support” and in overall “Program Outcomes.” Our program provides a strong, interdisciplinary specialization in historical archaeology, historical perspectives in archaeology and anthropology, and heritage studies. We offer Ph.D. and M.A. degrees, including a graduate minor in Museum Studies and a concentration in Cultural Heritage Studies. The M.A. degree is usually a first stage toward the doctorate. Graduate students are currently undertaking doctoral research throughout the world, and typically receive five and half years of full funding. The Departments of Anthropology and Landscape Architecture also host the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage Management and Policy, an interdisciplinary initiative for the critical study of cultural heritage and museums in a global context. We also host the African Diaspora Archaeology Network and Newsletter and direct and edit the peer-reviewed Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage. Archaeology faculty regularly offer an array of methods courses (e.g., surveying techniques, GIS, quantitative analysis, archaeometry, lithic analysis, ceramic analysis), regional survey courses (e.g., Africa, Central Andes, Europe, North, Central and South America), topical courses (e.g., historic archaeology, landscape archaeology, cultural heritage management, museum studies) and theory courses (e.g., history of archaeology, archaeological theory, social complexities, social construction of space). Department archaeologists and affiliated faculty in Landscape Architecture maintain active research programs in sites located in the United States, India, Peru, east-central Africa, and Europe.

  5. General Statement:

    The Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland offers graduate study leading to the Master of Applied Anthropology (M.A.A.), the Master of Applied Anthropology and Master of Historic Preservation (M.A.A./M.H.P. Dual Degree), the Masters of Professional Studies in Cultural and Heritage Resource Management (M.P.S. (CHRM)), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

    The Department of Anthropology is internationally recognized as a leader in historical archaeology, environmental archaeology, and heritage studies, with five faculty members with expertise in historical archaeology. Anthropology offers skills-based training in zooarchaeology; geospatial technology, mapping, and modeling; geoarchaeology; cultural resource management; archaeological/heritage ethnography; and forensic anthropology. Students may contribute to faculty members’ projects in Iceland, Ireland, the anthracite area of northeastern Pennsylvania, Annapolis and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the Chesapeake, the American Southwest, and Southeastern US. Within the Department of Anthropology, archaeology exists through the strong emphasis on historical archaeology and is intimately linked to analysis of the role the past plays in the present, and particularly the ways in which the past is understood, valued, consumed, and mobilized. Historical archaeology is focused on class structure in Annapolis, labor struggles in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania, environmental degradation caused by European settlement in Iceland, cultural resilience and transformation in Ireland, impacts of diaspora and immigration in the U.S., the survival of Native American ecological patterns when confronted with European intrusion into the American Southwest and Southeast, as well as the role of heritage in pursuing and sustaining social justice.

    Students are prepared for research and management careers outside of academic settings, as well as for academic careers in anthropology departments, and policy-making settings. The department trains archaeologists who intend to specialize in historical archaeology. We train archaeologists to work in public settings, management environments, and the academy. Archaeologists will be encouraged to undertake research on the political uses of the past, museum interpretations of importance to local communities, and understanding and enhancing the role of CRM and applied archaeology in modern society. Students specializing in historical archaeology often choose to pursue interests in CRM within regulatory agencies or private firms, archaeology within tourist environments, public interpretation in archaeologically based museums, and archaeology of the Chesapeake/Mid-Atlantic region.

    The university participates in a consortium program with other area institutions (American, Catholic, George Mason, George Washington, and other universities). Students can take courses at any of these institutions to complement their course work and the credits will apply to their University of Maryland degree.

  5. General Statement:

    The Department offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Anthropology. Most students earn the M.A. degree while continuing their studies toward the doctorate, although it is possible to complete only the M.A. degree. Graduate students may concentrate on archaeology and through a flexible guidance committee system develop a course of study specializing in historical archaeology. It is expected that students who specialize in archaeology will leave the program as well-rounded anthropological archaeologists. Graduate students are required to take several courses in general anthropology as well as meet archaeological theory and method requirements. Those who specialize in historical archaeology are expected to develop skills in documentary research and in the analysis of historic-period material culture. Ongoing field programs provide experience in conducting all phases of research including training in contract research. Michigan State University has a long commitment to graduate work and field research in historical archaeology. University laboratory collections, computer access, and library facilities appropriate to training in historical archaeology are available. Archaeologists in the department are part of the University’s Consortium for Archaeological Research, which serves as a multidisciplinary link for archaeologists and related scholars across the campus. Student support is available in the form of research and teaching assistantships. The department works closely with the Michigan State University Museum, and is also an active participant in the university’s American Indian Studies Program, and a number of other scholars are available to work with students through association with this program. MSU has a formal Campus Archaeology Program that employs and trains historical archaeologists and public archaeologists. MSU supports the program and students develop research projects and learn to interact with various parts of campus administration. The url for this specific program is:http://campusarch.msu.edu

    Michigan Technological University offers several degrees in Industrial Heritage and Archaeology, including unique Ph.D. and M.S. programs, as well as the VISTA/Americorps M.S. degree. Our doctoral degree is unique research-based program preparing students to join the global community of scholars engaged with the physical, cultural, and environmental heritage of industrial societies. Graduates work at managerial-level positions in heritage management and shape the development and implementation of heritage policy around the world. The M.S. degrees are truly interdisciplinary, combining the academic perspectives of anthropology, history of technology, geography, environmental history, sociology,  architectural history, anthropology, and other fields. M.S. graduates pursue careers in heritage management, field archaeology, public history, preservation and planning, archives, tourism, museums, community revitalization, and government service. Students can take advantage of the VISTA/Americorps opportunities for national service and integrate their experience into their studies. The Department of Social Sciences maintains and collaborates with many research centers on campus, including the Geospatial Core Facility, the Historical Environments Spatial Analytics Laboratory, the Great Lakes Research Center, and the  dedicated Annex Building Archaeology Laboratories (including research, conservation, and teaching labs; GIS lab; a curatorial facility; and the Industrial Heritage and Archaeology library), in addition to remote sensing, chemistry and materials science, aDNA, and environmental science laboratories on campus. The university’s main library, in addition to  its extensive holdings related to industrial history, maintains the Copper Country Archives and Historical Collections, an important repository of original materials concerning regional and mining history. The Archaeology Laboratory is actively involved in local, regional, and international archaeological studies, providing thesis and dissertation projects for students built around practical problems. Students also work in heritage projects, including ethnographic and public history, which are beyond narrow definitions of archaeological work. Many faculty frame their work in community-based, collaborative efforts. In recent years, all graduate students received financial support, including both the M.S. and Ph.D. level  students.

    Active research programs include archaeological, ethnographic, geospatial, and historical/archival studies in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Chicago, areas of North and South America, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Arctic. Research is sponsored by organizations like the National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the  Humanities and through partnerships with the National Park Service, National Forest Service, and other state, federal, and municipal organizations and agencies. Applications are due January 15 of each year.

  5. General Statement:
    The Department of Anthropology, at The University of Montana offers both M.A. and Ph.D. programs. We believe that our M.A. program is well suited for students who are pursuing a career as a professional anthropologist and who plan to work for a government agency or a private sector cultural resource management company. Students interested in historical archaeology will have many opportunities to see how this field connects with a four-field, holistic approach to understanding the human condition. Our cultural heritage track allows students to focus on the applied aspects of cultural resource management. Our general track offers more opportunities to customize a program of study, often serving students who would like to earn a Ph.D. degree and who have the requisite interest, ability, and drive to accomplish this, but require a solid grounding in Anthropology and the opportunity to conduct independent research before tackling a Ph.D. program. Our Ph.D. program is well suited for students interested in cultural heritage, historical anthropology, language retention, historical linguistics, applied anthropology, bioarchaeology, ancient DNA, human variation, archaeology, and sociocultural anthropology. Our Ph.D. program works well for students who want to pursue academic careers, as well as for practicing cultural resource managers who wish to work for a university, cultural resource management firms, museums, governmental agencies, or NGOs.

  5. General Statement:
    Our department favors a holistic approach to anthropology, one that emphasizes the bridges between the discipline’s subfields:  Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology. The department has a special interdisciplinary and cross-school role to play in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (WCAS) and the larger University. Our work frequently intersects with Northwestern’s Program of African Studies, the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program, and the Geography Program.

    Archaeology at Northwestern is characterized by the three key themes.

    Understanding history

    • The understanding of history, with a focus on the archaeology of social complexity and inequality
    • A comparative approach to complex societies and political/cultural inequality around the world, from the ancient Maya to medieval and historical Europe to the American colonial experience
    • Commitment to analysis at different scales, from the study of everyday life and the household to the widest questions of social change

    Theory and practice

    • A belief in the importance of rigorous and diverse theoretical approaches in the understanding of the past
    • Commitment to the interaction of theory and empirical research
    • A set of methods and intellectual questions that cross the borders between the humanities and the sciences

    Intellectual context

    • A belief that scientific knowledge is always framed within social, cultural and political concerns
    • Archaeology as part of the wider project of an integrated four-field program, powered by the intellectual differences and complementary approaches of an holistic Anthropology

  4. General Statement:

    The Graduate Program at USF offers MA and PhD degrees in Applied Anthropology, through which students learn the fundamentals of the four subfields of anthropology, their links with one another, and their relation to other academic disciplines. At the MA level, the archaeology track focuses on coursework in archaeological method and theory that prepares students for careers in cultural resources management or with public and private agencies and museums responsible for managing archaeological resources. At the PhD level, the track provides advanced training and research in applied archaeological anthropology, offering preparation for both academic and practicing positions. We also offer a Concentration in Cultural Resource Management, in which students at both levels may choose to take classes that focus on the practical management of cultural and archaeological resources.The department maintains significant archaeological collections estimated to contain over a million specimens systematically collected from prehistoric and historical sites throughout Florida and the Southeastern U.S. There are type collections for prehistoric and historic ceramics, lithics, and historical artifacts from Florida and the wider Southeast. Of particular importance are collections of projectile points ranging in date from Paleo-Indian through the contact period, and prehistoric collections from peninsular and northwest Florida. Additional collections, representing Mesoamerica and the American Southwest, include nearly 300 examples of whole pottery vessels, figurines, and other artifacts. There are five archaeological laboratories in the department, equipped for artifact processing, documentation, and conservation; optical microscopy, photography, illustration, and drawing; physical and chemical analysis of archaeological materials; and preparation of museum exhibits. There is also access to instrumental facilities at USF with equipment for remote-sensing using ground penetrating radar; thin-section and metallographic sample preparation and analysis; micro-analytical analysis and elemental characterization using scanning electron microscopy with energy and wavelength dispersive x-ray spectrometers; characterization using x-ray diffraction; and elemental/isotopic analysis by inductively coupled plasma optical emission and mass spectrometers. Two primary affiliates of the Department of Anthropology provide research and employment opportunities for our graduate students. The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies provides faculty and students with the opportunity for interdisciplinary training and research in three-dimensional visualization and spatial mapping using High Definition Documentation Survey technologies, including 3D Laser Scanning, Global Positioning Systems, Geographic Information Systems, photogrammetry, and multi-spectral imaging. The Tampa Regional Public Archaeology Center, part of the Florida Public Archaeology Network, promotes and facilitates the conservation, study, and public understanding of Florida’s archaeological heritage on Florida’s west coast. The Center’s activities include promoting archaeological/heritage tourism, developing partnerships with regional heritage organizations, disseminating archaeological information to the public, promoting regional heritage events and programs, and facilitating archaeological volunteer opportunities.

  5. General Statement:
    The Department of Archaeology at the University of Southampton is one of the largest in Europe and was awarded a Grade 5a (highest evaluation) in the last Research Assessment Exercise. The department was also awarded a maximum 24 points by the Quality Assurance Association for its curriculum design, and excellence in teaching and learning. The department regards maritime archaeology as one of its six principal research themes and has embedded the subject into all levels of its teaching syllabus. All students are introduced to the subject in their first year. Course units in years two and three mean a maritime component can be followed throughout the undergraduate degree. The dissertation topic can also be maritime, and students can participate in a number of maritime field projects, many involving underwater work. For those who wish to specialize at the graduate level, the department runs a taught master’s course in Maritime Archaeology (M.A. or M.Sc.) with the opportunity to continue for doctoral research. The master’s course includes substantial practical components and provides the opportunity for participation in ongoing research projects. These projects include research into the historical context of shipwrecks including the Mary Rose, St. Peter Port medieval wrecks, the Sea Venture in Bermuda, as well as several sites in the Baltic (Adams), several marine geoarchaeology projects concerning both sites (whether wrecks or paleolandscapes) and advanced methods (Dix), the Eyemouth Boats Project (Blue), and harbor research in the Red Sea (Peacock and Blue). The waterfront location of the university, the department’s academic strength, and the collaboration among relevant departments mean that Southampton’s maritime archaeology syllabus is the broadest available. In 1997, the university launched the Centre for Maritime Archaeology to act as a focus for teaching and research within the university. The centre has its own building, including teaching laboratories, study space for postgraduate students, and an offprint library. The university library is extensive, and its maritime collection has recently been expanded. Locally, the department has close links with the Nautical Archaeology Society, the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology, Southampton City Archaeological Unit, the Mary Rose Trust, and English Heritage.

  5. General Statement:
    The Department of Anthropology at Stanford University offers historical archaeologists the opportunity to pursue graduate research leading to the M.A. or the Ph.D. degree. Faculty members in the Department of Anthropology specializing in historical archaeology engage in field and laboratory projects with an emphasis on urbanism, colonialism/post-colonialism, heritage, racialization, gender, and sexuality. Archaeologists working in the Department of Anthropology collaborate with scholars from multiple departments through the interdisciplinary Stanford Archaeology Center. In addition to housing laboratory and office space for students, the Stanford Archaeology Center sponsors workshops, lecture series, conferences, and provides a collegial atmosphere for creating links between Anthropology and Classics, as well as between other participating schools and departments from Earth Sciences to Art History. Indeed, the Center is situated so as to generally enhance interactions at Stanford between the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. It aims to facilitate and encourage innovative collaborative research that has a global reach. Although archaeology at Stanford covers a wide range of areas and topics, it is important to stress that graduate students are admitted to the Archaeology Program through the affiliate departments, from which they will ultimately receive their PhD degree (usually Anthropology, Classics, or Geological and Environmental Sciences). For further information about specific programs, please contact the relevant department.

The Maritime Archaeology and Conservation Program is a Master of Science program intended for students interested in employment in maritime museums, cultural resource management firms, the oil industry, and federal state or local agencies. The M.S. is completed in two years and requires a thesis.  The emphasis of the Ph.D. program is academic rather than technical. Candidates for admission are evaluated on their research and communication abilities rather than their diving records. A B.A. degree in a relevant field is required for admission to the Ph.D. program, though students may enter with an M.A. in hand.  Students can choose from a wide range of specializations, ranging from the pre-classical Mediterranean to medieval northern Europe to the colonial New World, among others. Students also have the opportunity to study the history of ship construction and conservation. An interdisciplinary program with the Department of Oceanography provides training in remote sensing and deepwater surveys and excavations. There are excellent conservation and ship-reconstruction laboratories and opportunities on shipwreck projects around the globe.  The Nautical Archaeology Program and Center for Maritime Archaeology benefit from their affiliation with the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA), headquartered on the TAMU Campus, which provides field and research opportunities in the Americas, Europe, and the Mediterranean where INA has a research center in Bodrum, Turkey. Valuable training in anthropological and archaeological methods and theory are also offered by the Dept. of Anthropology.

    The Vienna Department follows the general European definition of Historical Archaeology as the archaeology of literate societies. All literate periods are regularly thought in lectures and seminars. The focus lies on the archaeology of Austria and Central Europe with all its aspects, methods and theories: Roman Austria, early medieval, medieval and post-medieval archaeology, contemporary archaeology, landscape archaeology, material culture studies, archaeological sciences and many more. Frequently also other areas (e. g. the North Atlantic) or special topics (e. g. montane archaeology) are covered. The Department is one of the very few institutions in German speaking Europe that provides courses in post-medieval archaeology. Students can write their thesis in all periods and chose their own topic. The Department offers the degrees BA, MA and PhD in Prehistoric and Historical Archaeology and several fieldwork projects in aspects of historical archaeology. Courses are generally held in German (exceptions possible). Papers and thesises can be submitted in English. Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and provides excellent possibilities for students. The Department is located in a historic building together with the Department of Classical Archaeology and the Austrian Institute of Archaeology which allows contacts and exchange with those institutions. Laboratory and restoration work areas are open to students as well as good computing facilities. Dr Mehler and Prof Theune-Vogt issue the open access on-line journal “Historische Archäologie”, hosted at http://www.histarch.org

  5. General Statement:
    Archaeology, and historical archaeology in particular, was first established as a departmental focus in 1957 by Professor Arnold Pilling (who would go on to establish the Museum of Anthropology in 1958, and contribute to the founding of the SHAs in 1967). The legacy of Dr. Pilling’s public scholarship and community-based research continues today with several faculty and student research, outreach, and training initiatives housed in the department’s Grosscup Museum of Anthropology.
    Graduate students at Wayne State University may pursue a MA or Ph.D in Anthropology with a focus in Archaeology. MA students may focus on Archaeology generally or may pursue a more specific focus in historical archaeology, public archaeology/CRM or museum studies. Ph.D. students will work towards an Anthropology degree with a special focus in an area of Archaeology that is relevant to their interests and faculty expertise. In recent years students have conducted archaeological research in Michigan, Ecuador, Bolivia, Mexico, Spain, the Caribbean, and other parts of North America (including numerous projects in Detroit and Southeast Michigan). The Department also maintains a strong commitment to the archaeology of urban Detroit and offers fieldwork opportunities at local archaeological sites on a regular basis.
    The Archaeology and Biological Anthropology Laboratories, housed in the Grosscup Museum of Anthropology and Life Sciences Building, include facilities for mapping, computerized drafting, photography, spatial analysis, ceramic analysis, 3D printing/scanning, GIS, and statistical research, as well as comparative collections. The Grosscup Museum of Anthropology contains extensive collections of local historical and contemporary material culture that are available for student research. Wayne State is located in Detroit’s Midtown cultural district, within walking distance of several major museums, archival repositories, and libraries.
    Our graduate students with archaeology and/or museum specializations are readily employed upon graduation in a wide range of jobs related to their expertise. These jobs are located in public and private sectors and include work in cultural resource management firms, federal and local governments, industry, national research laboratories, environmental consulting firms, publishing houses, educational institutions, national parks, law firms, non-profits, and museums.
    Visit Wayne State Anthropology’s You Tube channel to listen to our students and alum talk about the benefits of their graduate training. Prospective students are encouraged to address questions about pursuing a MA degree vs. a PhD degree to the Department’s Director of Graduate Studies and the archaeology faculty. There are two annual admissions cycles for the Anthropology Master’s program (October and January), and one admission cycle for the Ph.D program (January).

  4. General Statement:
    Archaeological research at the University of Amsterdam focuses on North Western Europe and the Mediterranean region, and includes sites and landscapes from later prehistory to the twentieth century. Our approach is multidisciplinary, integrating theoretical approaches from (art) history, sociology, and material and earth sciences. Traditional research methods are used and new methods are developed with the help of contemporary digital technology. Amsterdam historical archaeologists perform fieldwork and material research in the Netherlands, the Mediterranean region, Fennoscandia, and central Europe. Our specializations include ceramics research, osteoarchaeology, zooarchaeology, digital archaeology (3 & 4 D modelling), excavation and survey archaeology, and heritage management. Within the last five years the department has developed new research interests and strengths in modern world historical archaeology, and conflict archaeology. We offer B.A., M.A., R.M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. The Master’s programmes are taught in English and are jointly provided with the VU University of Amsterdam. The following three tracks are offered in our Archaeology MA: Archaeology of Northwestern Europe, Landscape and Heritage, and Mediterranean Archaeology. Our innovative interdisciplinary two-year Research Master’s programme Heritage, Memory and Archaeology explores the ways in which we deal with tangible and intangible remnants and narratives of the past, as well as the remaking of the past into heritage, memory and material culture in the present.
