Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology
This course focuses on the material culture and disposition of archaeological sites in ancient Egypt and Nubia from c. 3200 bce-285 ac. The logic and nature of both sacred and secular landscapes are explored, and specific sites, some well known (such as the extensive temple precinct at Karnak and the Meroitic pyramids).
Honors in Anthropological Archaeology
The Undergraduate Honors Seminar in Archaeology is the first half of a two part seminar course designed for students who wish to write an Honors thesis in archaeology. During the fall academic term, we will focus discussions on the history of American archaeology to understand the ethical issues facing archaeologists today. We will also examine the research process and look at how to develop and write a research design, as a means of starting work on your Honors thesis. Professional skills are also discussed. Students will prepare an annotated bibliography of background information related to their thesis topic and write a short research design. Grades are based on participation in seminar discussions, written assignments, and an oral presentation of your research topic at the end of the academic term.
Practica in Archaeological Research Techniques Zooarchaeology
This course seeks to provide students with skills in the analysis of archaeological materials, including animal bones (zooarchaeology), plant remains (archaeobotany), stone tools, ceramics, and soils and sediments. Specific methodologies include remote sensing (subsurface radar, sonar, satellite imagery analysis), Geographic Information Systems, and materials analysis through chemical or geologic methodologies. Sections provide students with basic skills and fundamental knowledge to allow them to develop a wide range of essential analytical skills in archaeology.
Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
The course provides an introduction to Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and how it may be applied to solve urban planning problems. Emphasis is on basic principles and concepts of GIS, theory and tools of spatial analysis, and broad exposure to GIS applications. Topics include history of GIS, hardware/software requirements, spatial data types, data formats and sources, spatial analysis techniques, making maps and reports, and fundamentals of database design.
Mechanisms of Human Adaptation
The course is addressed at evaluating the physiological response and adaptations that enable humans to survive environmental extremes such as those found under stressful conditions of heat, cold, solar radiation, high altitude, undernutrition, overnutrition, and Westernization of dietary habits. Because this course is addressed to students of several disciplines and to facilitate understanding of the mechanisms of human adaptation to the environmental stress, the discussion of the major topics is preceded by sections outlining initial responses observed in laboratory animals. Emphasis is given to the short adaptive mechanisms that enable an organism to acclimate itself to a given environmental stress. Subsequently, the long-term adaptive mechanisms that enable humans to acclimatize themselves to natural, stressful environmental conditions are discussed. Throughout the course, emphasis is given to the effects of environmental stresses and the adaptive responses that an organism makes during its growth and development and their implications for understanding the origins of population differences in biological traits. The method of instruction is lecture and some discussion. The course also involves practice with field laboratory techniques.

NUTRITION AND EVOLUTION
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The purpose of this course is to study nutrition from a contemporary and evolutionary perspective. The contents of this course are divided into three parts:
PART I (EVOLUTIONARY ROOTS): Addresses the evolutionary roots of the human digestive system from mammals to the present.
PART II (ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY NUTRITION): Examines the physiology of the utilization of the basic nutrients throughout the human lifecycle. Evaluates the validity of various weight loss programs and discusses the recommended dietary program
PART III (BIOCULTURAL BASIS OF FOOD PROCUREMENT):
Examines:
a) the changes in food procurement from hunting-gathering to pastoralism and agriculture;
b) the role of culture and biology in the variability of food choice;
c) the consequences of the failure and success of getting food in contemporary human societies.
LABORATORY AND REVIEW SESSIONS
The Graduate Student Instructors (GSI’s) will conduct the laboratory and review sessions. These sessions will include a review of the topics covered in class. In addition, during these sessions, students will learn about: (1) the interpretation and techniques used in nutritional surveys; (2) the use of US Food and Agriculture databanks used in the evaluation of the adequacy of dietary intake; (3) the use of anthropometric field and laboratory techniques to measure growth and nutrition status; and (4) the use of techniques to infer the dietary pattern of hominid fossils.
INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
This topical 232 course aims at a further development of students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing knowledge of Italian by exposing them to a wide range of multimedia resources connected with popular culture in Italy. Special emphasis is placed on interpersonal communication and a continuing practice of expressing own opinions and conclusions through a variety of assignments and computer-based activities. Grading includes regular attendance and class participation, oral presentation, speaking examination, short papers, home assignments, exams, a midterm, and a final examination.
MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
The concepts of "health" and "illness" are culturally constructed. This course will examine beliefs about these states of being, and the ways in which they are both products and illustrations of the larger social system in which they are found. Ideas about the history of disease, social construction of the body, illness causation, therapies and therapists, healing symbols and rituals, and the social roles of patients and healers will be explored. In addition to examining these beliefs and processes cross-culturally, we will also draw upon examples from Western biomedicine — among them cancer, AIDS, eating disorders, schizophrenia — to illustrate the powerful ways in which illness and culture are bound together.
INTRO TO ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY
A millennium and a half after its collapse, the Roman Empire lives on in the popular imagination. No wonder: at its peak, Rome's empire was the largest the world had yet seen, spanning almost 3000 miles from West to East, with a population of 50 million inhabitants. Its capital was the world's first megacity, a sprawling home to a million people from all walks of life. From the movies we have visions of decadent emperors, fearless gladiators, and the teeming masses screaming for blood at the Colosseum. But what was life in ancient Rome really like? This course will move beyond the standard stereotypes and explore the history and culture of the city of Rome and its vast empire. Through the objects the Romans left behind, such as ruined temples, perfume bottles, imperial portraits, and soldiers' helmets, we can use art and archaeology to reconstruct the story of ancient Rome and the experiences of daily life in the Empire. Beginning with Rome's lowly origins as a small village we will trace its rise and eventual fall, traversing the empire from rainy Britain to the sands of the Sahara. Along the way we will explore such topics as politics and power, life in the army, religion, food and drink, entertainments, and the private life of its subjects. The readings and illustrated lectures will provide a broad overview, while weekly discussion sections will focus on specialized topics. There are no prerequisites for the course. Your grade will be based on two 1 hour-long exams, one final exam, and your section participation.

Apparently, it was widely suspected that Sharon held these kind of parties back in high school. I don't know what people were every thinking, but I assume they thought it was something like this.
