The Department of Anthropology offers an M.A./Ph.D. in Anthropology, with specialization in Historical Archaeology and Historical Anthropology, and an M.A. program in Historical Archaeology. Students take courses in cultural theory, area studies, archaeology, CRM, historiography, and research methods, with special emphasis on comparative colonialism, the African Diaspora, the Historical Archaeology of Native America, and the archaeology/anthropology of the Atlantic World. Practical training in field and lab work as well as archaeological conservation methods is available in various courses, including summer field schools/programs in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. The Williamsburg area has unparalleled historical, archaeological, and museum/library resources, as well as opportunities to participate in a wide variety of ongoing research projects, including those offered by staff of the Department of Archaeological Research of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, some of whom also teach in the department’s graduate program. The Department of Anthropology operates three centers of benefit to students; the Center for Archaeological Research, which conducts archaeological survey, excavation, and analysis for a variety of government and private organizations; the American Indian Resource Center, which undertakes applied and collaborative projects with contemporary native communities; and the Institute for Historical Biology which holds a large database on the 17th and 18th century African Burial Ground in New York City. All students accepted for the Ph.D. program will receive full funding for their program of study.
