Department of Anthropology Course Offering
“Ice Age Humans in North America” ANTY-494
This course explores one of the last great questions in
archaeology, the broad and often contentious topic of
the ancient colonization of the western hemisphere
(North and South America). The course provides an
in-depth look at the relevant archaeological record as
well as an introduction to the researchers who have
contributed significantly to our historical and current
understandings of the issue. We will explore new
discoveries and advances in analytical techniques that
are refining long-held hypotheses and sparking new
lines of inquiry. The course assumes a basic
knowledge of archeological method and theory as
might be obtained in an “Introduction to Archeology”
course.
Your professor, Dr. Craig M. Lee, received his B.A.
from Montana State University, M.A. from University of
Wyoming, and Ph.D. from the University of Colorado.
He has conducted extensive fieldwork at Ice Age sites
ranging from Texas to Alaska.
