Welcome to the Archaeology Department
Ricardo J. Elia
As Chair of the Department of Archaeology it is my pleasure to welcome you to our web site. We have developed this site to provide you with information about our graduate and undergraduate programs, courses, faculty, staff, and facilities.
Although we are still a relatively young department (initiated in 1982) we currently have over 100 undergraduate majors and over 50 graduate students. Our 14 full-time faculty members are all very active in the field with projects on four continents. These projects provide many opportunities for students to gain field experience and topics for MA theses and PhD dissertations, in addition to bringing up-to-date material to the classroom. Our visiting faculty and research fellows also bring a wealth of information. You can learn more about the various departmental projects on the faculty web pages.
Please do not hesitate to contact the main office of the Department of Archaeology, which is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.
For more information feel free to browse through the site and check the calendar for upcoming events.
