subdivision of the Office of the Dean of Arts, and 

2.

That in the administrative separation of Archaeology 

Studies from P.S. A. , the separation carried no commit- 

ment for increased support of Archaeology Studies 

from the level already established in the Faculty Of 

Arts, with respect to curricular, budgetary, or 

personnel matters. 

The above principles were adhered to in the deliber- 

ations of the Senate Ad Hoc Committee, which was established

department with the chairman as an ex officio 

member to discuss with Dean Sullivan the meaning 

and implications of (archaeology) separation with 

reference to curriculum, budget, and personnel. 

The Dean and the P.S.A. Committee first established 

the areas of agreement on separation between P.S.A. and 

Archaeology. It was agreed that any contentious items, if 

unresolvable by the P.S.A. Committee and the Dean, would be 

brought before the Senate Ad Hoc Committee for resolution. 

A.

Following are the matters on which all parties agreed: 

I. l3udqet ? 

- that Archaeology could be credited with 

all funds which were specificall 

y for 

their work: e.g., equipment, lab. materials, 

lab, assistants, field expenses. 

- that Archaeology would get its propor- 

tionate share (2 faculty members in a 

department of 27 = 1/13.5) of all other 

line items, where applicable. 

- Both parties agreed on the separation of 

the budget.

372-5; 472-5; 473-5; and specially 

designated sections of 433,434,435. (i.e.,. 

PS2\ 272--3 becomes Archaeology Studies 

272-3) 

- that graduate course PSA 896 would be 

administered by Archaeology Studies and 

so designated. 

B.

The points of disagreement were as follows: 

.I. Faculty ?

Archaeology should or should not be 

authoried to hire a faculty member in 

addition to 

the two presently teaching 

that subject.

students already admitted to, or wishing 

to enter the P.S.A. Department could 

fulfill certain degree requiements in 

Archaeology Studies as part of the degree 

programs in P.S.A. 

- that graduate courses (or sections of 

the courses) as follows should be or 

should not he administered by Archaeology 

Studies: ?

892; 897; 898. 

- that undergraduate courses (or sections 

of the courses) as follows should or 

should not he given by Archaeology 

Studies: ? 

(PSA) 373; 376; 493; 499. 

C. The Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Archaeology Separation 

accepted the points of agreement. (under A.1 and 2) and 

decided the points of contention as summarized below: 

1. Faculty ?

• ? 

to hire an additional faculty member at 

this time. 

2.

and taught by Archaeology Studies and so 

designated: PSA 272; 273; 372; 472; 473; 

881; 882; 896; and specially designated 

sections of 433; 434; 435, subject to the 

following: 

That Archaeology Studies is not at present 

adegree-recommendirg agency (i.e • , students 

who take Archaeology Studies are working 

in degree programs offered by other. 

departments) 

That students workir.g toward the B .A. or 

B.A. Honors in P.S.A. may continue to take 

the

An

thropology/Archaeology option (as 

has been the practice) in the P.S.A. 

undergraduate program. 

That the P.S. A. Department will continue to 

allow qualiffed graduate degree candidates 

•

?

(who wish to do so) to take specific . . . 

-4- ? 

courses at the '•rac1uate level in Archaeology 

and will allow graduate students to write 

the graduate thesis in Archaeology Studies, 

providing that both the P.S.A. Department and 

the Archaeologists concur on a candidate's 

acceptability (that is, neither party may as 

it were assign students without the consent 

of the other party) ; also providing that in 

the cases where a student wishes to pursue 

Archaeology Studies for the graduate degree, 

that the supervising committee be partly 

comprised of Archaeologists. 

That majors and honors students in P.S.A. be 

allowed to take Honors Reading or Honors 

Thesis in Archaeology providing that they 

meet the full departmental requirements for 

an honors or majors degree, and that in such 

cases that the Archaeologists be allowed to 

teach special sections (as in the case of 

433, 434, and 

435) 

of Honors Reading or 

Honors Thesis with the notation "Archaeology 

section' attached to its description in the 

list of course offerings. 

The above items comprise the administrative separation 

of Archaeology Studies from the ii. S. A. Department, and as such 

define the administrative sub-division of the Office of the 

Dean of Arts entitled "Archaeology Studies". 

It should be clearly pointed out that in the above 

arrangement students in the various departments of the University 

may enrol in the Archaeology Studies courses as electives and that 

students in the P.S.A. Department may take Archaeology Studies 

courses as part of the rajo]: or honors program (as part of their 

study generally or specifically in conjunction with their study 

in Anthrcpology). By the same respect, graduate students ad-- 

mitted to P. S.A. with an interest in Anthropolcgy are also 

provided with the option of taking specialized graduate courses 

in Archaeology Studies as part of their degree program. 

Since Archaeology Studies i a responsibilit 

y

of the 

Office of the Dean of Arts, all administrative, budgetary, 

curricular or other proposals from Archaeology Studies must 

first be approved by the Office of the Dean before action by 

subsequent agencies within the University. 

In accordance with the above, Archaeology Studies is 

preparing a submission to the Senate for the University Calendar 

under the title "Archaeology Studies".
