Senate Committee on Undergraduate
From
.................
Studies
18th Noveirber, 1976
Date
...............................................................................
Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies at its meeting of November 16, 1976 gives rise to the following notion:
MYrIa . i 1
That Senate approve, and recomnd approval tothe
Board of Governors, the prerequisite changes set forth on page 1 of S.76
as follows:
For Archaeology 272-3 from "prerequisite: ARC. 101
or 131" to "prerequisite: ARC.131 is recorm'ended" and for AEC.273-3 from
"prerequisite: ARC.101 or 131" to "prerequisite: ARC. 101 is reoDnuTended".
Note - ARC. 101 and 131 were introduced as prerequisites on a trial basis this
year. It is now the judgment of the Department that . lessening
?
the pre-
requisite will make the courses more widely available to interested students
without jeopardizing their quality.
MYI'ION 2
That Senate approve, and recommend approval to the
Board of Governors, the proposed new courses, ARC. 340-3 Introductory Zooarchaeo logy
and ARC.440-3 Advanced Zooarchaeology.
Note - The introduction of these two courses is entirely consistent with the
orientation and objectives of the Department. The courses reflect the appointment
of Dr. Richard Casteel during the past year to provide leadership in the field of
zooarchaeology.

?
were ?
put ?
in ?
as ?

?
for
ARC ?
272 ?
and ?
273 ?
this ?
year ?
on ?
a ?
trial ?
basis
as ?
part ?
of
?
a ?
larger
?
curricular ?
revision. ?
There
have ?
been ?
some ?
complaints
?
from ?
students ?
in
Latin ?
American ?
Studies ?
that
?
with ?
these

it ?

This
same
?
situation
?
is ?
potentially ?
true
?
for ?
African
Middle
?
East
?
Studies. ?
After ?
considerable
discussion
?
the
?
department ?
decided
?
that ?
it
should ?
return
?
to
?
the ?
previous ?
situation
?
in
which ?

Neithe'

and

as
?
such ?
they
should ?
be
