Introduction to Archaeology at UCSB

Here's another archaeology course you'll want to check out, Anthropolgy 3 Introduction to Archaeology at UC Santa Barbara. Lots of great content in the Study Guide. Assignments are laid out for you and two essay exams that you can use. Take a look at the Writing Guide.

One tip that might be helpful--as of this writing, I had a problem getting to the instructor's homepage, which has more interesting information. Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith's homepage is here.

Don't miss the "Hollywood" page. Looks like Dr. Smith was involved in the Mummy movies and Stargate.

Introduction to Archaeology MATRIX Course

Matrix at Indiana University offers some really cool archaeology resources. This course, Introduction to Archaeology, by Dr. Nancy White is excellent. MATRIX is a website for archaeology instructors.

Dr. White provides 17 detailed lecture modules, 16 exercises, 6 tests and assessments, syllabus and an extensive bibliography.

This should be a great addition to your lifelong learner's course list.

Clovis to Coronado at University of Arizona

Want to learn about the prehistory of the southwest United States? Here's an excellent course for you. ANTH205 Clovis to Coronado: Prehistoric Peoples of the Southwest, taught by Dr. J. Jefferson Reid, gives access to the syllabus and 24 lectures (notes and links). Some of the readings are not available (password protected), but several are, so be sure to check each one.

You'll also find several links at the bottom of the last page of each lecture.

The Archaeology of Ancient Arizona and Grasshopper Pueblo, A Story of Archaeology and Ancient Life by Jefferson Reid and Stephanie Whittlesey are the texts used.

This is an exceptional class.
