Overview

Archaeology encompasses societies with written records, both recent and ancient (Montana mining towns and Pompeii) as well as societies whose only record are the objects they made and the places they modified (Native American prehistoric buffalo "jumps" in Montana and two million year old African tool scatters). Archaeologists are interested in answering cultural and social questions, both specific (How do ceramic dinner plate choices reflect social class in 19th century households?) and sweeping (Why did societies around the world take up agriculture about 10,000 years ago?).

Careers

Archaeologists study people through artifacts; we do not study fossils unless they are associated with people. So, if you're interested in dinosaurs, don't ask an archaeologist! Learn more with this program in Anthropology - Archaeology from The University of Montana .
