ARCHAEOLOGY - CHANGES IN REQUIREMENT 

On the recommendation of the Faculty of Arts, 

the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

has approved changes, - as set forth in SCUS

Course ? 

What was previously "Archaeology majors who wish admission 

Require- ? 

to the honors program must hold and maintain at least a 

inents ? 

3.0

cumulative grade point average. In addition, the 

for ? 

successful completion of Mathematics 101 or a comparable 

Honors ? 

statistics course, the Honors Reading and Honors Essay 

Archaeology courses, and ten credit hours in other 

approved courses over and above the requirements for a 

major are necessary." 

Replace with "Archaeology majors who wish admission to the 

honors program must hold at least a 

3.0

cumulative grade 

point average and to remain in the program must maintain 

that average. The successful completion of the Honors 

Reading and Honors Essay Archaeology courses, and ten credit 

hours in other approved courses over and above the require- 

ments for a major are also necessary. In addition the 

successful completion of either Mathematics 101, or Computing 

100 and 102, or Psychology 210, or a statistics course 

approved by the Departmental Chairman is required." 

Rationale: 

Both the computing courses and Psychology 

210

are methodology 

courses of considerable use to Archaeologists. Students are 

advised to obtain a background in either statistics (Mathematics 

101, Psychology 

210)

or computing (Computing 100 and 

102),

as

both are used more and more in Archaeology.

JUSTIFICATION 

A.

What is the detailed description of the course including 

differentiation from lower level courses, from similar courses 

in the same department, and from courses in other departments 

in the University? 

Each of the 3 lower div. archaeology courses at 

.

prescnt offered by the Deparbrent cover a broad 

area in depth. Arc. 36-3, Readings in Archaeology, is usually offered in conjunction with 

Arc. 433 and 43 as part of the Sumner Field School and requires specified readings in Acheolc 

method and technqiues. The majority of our students register for Field School and so register 

for Arc. 436-3. rhe new course will differ from the Archaeology Deparbnent curriculum presently 

in effect. Students who become interested in certain aspects of A±chaeology, 

i.e. 

physical 

anthropology, will be better prepared for post-graduate work at other institutions. 

S. What is the range of topics that may be dealt with in the 

course? 

Prehistory of the New World and Old 

T

Jr1d, Physical Anthropology (Human Osteology, 

Fossil Man), Primitive Man, Theory. 

HOW

does this course fit the goals Of the department? 

This course does not alter the goals of the department in any 

way. Students will be able to obtain a broader background in 

certain areas of Archaeology which they have covered in courses 

already taken. 

D.

How does this course affect degree requirements? 

It nay be used to satisfy degree requirements, but is not 

specifically required by majors or honours.
