Overview

Archaeology explores the lives of past peoples through the material culture they leave behind.

Using knowledge gained in several disciplines, Archaeological Studies graduates from State University of New York Potsdam across the globe ask a range of questions about the human experience, including how people settled a landscape, what they ate and how they ate it, what work they did and how they lived their religious beliefs, among many others.

Key facts:

Opportunities for hands-on research, such as through our annual field school, are plentiful.

The interdisciplinary nature of the major assures that our students will be familiar enough with the appropriate related disciplines to accomplish this. The major also provides the appropriate knowledge and skills for more specialized careers in conservation, museology and service in government agencies such as the National Park Service.
