Overview

Key facts:

The Department has a photographic room, drawing office, archaeology workrooms and laboratories (including palynology, geoarchaeological and forensic science archaeology laboratories). There are over 3,000 35 mm transparencies on various aspects of Archaeology while there are over 3000 microscope slides of the pollen grains and spores of Nigerian plants. From time to time the Department organises Public Lectures and Seminars on Archaeology and Anthropology. A new Anthropology Museum is underway.
The Archaeology (Honours) programme is offered at the University Of Ibadan.

The primary objective of the Department is to offer a practically oriented Archaeology/Anthropology programme relevant for meaningful human existence at several levels – national and international – but with special focus on Africa. To this end, Social-Cultural/Physical Anthropology and Archaeology are treated as related components of the study of man. The main fields of the Department at the moment are Archaeology and Social/Cultural Anthropology and in future, we hope to offer Physical Anthropology. Material culture occupies a central place, serving as a major bridge between archaeology and Ethnography.
