Program Description:

Our new Archaeology and Heritage Studies program explores the archaeology of the New World and the Ancient Mediterranean World. The program focuses on the cultures of North America, in both the pre-contact and post-contact periods after the arrival of Europeans, and the ancient societies of Greece, Rome and the Near East.

Archaeologists seek to learn about the human past through the study of the physical remains left behind by vanished cultures. Artifacts, architecture and environmental evidence all provide valuable clues for the reconstruction of past ways of life.

 

Advantage:

·           Our Archaeology and Heritage Studies program is the only such program in Canada that requires mandatory participation in field projects as a degree requirement. Recent field schools, taken for credit, have been carried out in Ontario at a 16th/17th-century Wendat (Huron) village, at Old Fort Erie, a War of 1812 site, at the Minoan palace of Gournia in Crete, and at the biblical town of Nebo (Khirbat al-Mukhayyat) in Jordan.

·           Work-study and volunteer opportunities are available each year for students wishing to assist professors in their research projects.

·           Class sizes are capped at 40 for third-year courses and 20-36 for fourth-year courses, including the capstone course experience.

·           There are a range of first-year classes to choose from, including Introduction to Archaeology; Methods and Principles of Archaeology; Physical Anthropology and Human Prehistory; The Greek World; and Roman Civilization.

·           This is a highly flexible program: you can easily combine this program with a second major, such as Ancient Studies, English, Languages, Religion and Culture, Anthropology or History.

 

Admission Requirement:

·           Admission range of mid 70s.

·           English at 60%.

·           Language requirements (please refer to the language requirements sections)
