Overview

The Archaeological and Environmental Sciences - Archaeology programme from Boston University engages students in the study of scientific approaches that illuminate human interaction with environments in the past.

By integrating perspectives and methods from both the natural and social sciences, students gain a well-rounded understanding of the deep history of human modifications of the environment and a deep-time perspective on sustainability.
