The Committee on Archaeology is a multidisciplinary group of scholars appointed to coordinate the teaching of archaeology among Harvard’s departments. It is designed to advance knowledge of archaeological activity, research, fieldwork, and scientific techniques in the many and varied fields where archaeology is an established and desirable approach to past cultures and histories around the world. It sponsors seminars, lectures, and conferences on archaeology in all fields, and encourages students in the several departments to join together outside their specialties for the advancement of knowledge. It publishes a newsletter of forthcoming archaeological lectures and activities, and holds a monthly interdepartmental seminar on archaeological themes.
The courses listed below deal either directly or indirectly with the study of archaeology and will be given in 1999–2000. More detailed descriptions may be found listed under the several departments.
