SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

MEMORANDUM

To: Ellen Gee, ChairDerson. FACC

From : Jon Driver, Archaeology

Subject: New archaeology courses

Date: 1 4th September 1986

The Department of Archaeology wishes to add two new courses to the

Calendar. Detafls are given on the attached forms and course outlines.

In order to facilitate the passage of these proposals through FACC, the

following information should answer most questions

Both courses will be taught by a new faculty member, Dr. Burley, ana

they reflect his research interests.

We are not proposing to drop any courses from the Calendar at present

because Dr. Shut ler, who retired recently, continues to teach courses as a

sessional instructor.

Both new courses have been offered before as special topics courses,

and both have attracted good enrollments. Both cover areas which are

important for archaeology majors seeking employment in Canada

Archaeology 377 is intended primarily for archaeology majors, which is

why it has more prerequisites than Archaeology 386.

Archaeology 386 may also attract students from other departments

interested in the management of non-renewable resources.

Archaeology 386 is currently being offered as a special topics course

this semester ;

and this is why it will not be taught until the fall semester

of 1990.
