Topics course. This seminar explores the archaeology of Spanish colonialism in the Caribbean and North America, and later plantation-based colonialism in the Caribbean. We read about the ways that colonial inequalities and institutions shaped interactions between Indigenous peoples, Spaniards and Africans; how identities were changed and reinforced; and how entirely new cultures and lifeways emerged from colonial processes. Students are introduced to archaeological theory and methodology, and the way the discipline can be used to access the material remains of colonialism.

Students work in ad hoc teams using a variety of skills and knowledge to address a current issue or question related to environmental sustainability for our local community. The specific projects vary from year to year. Students gain direct experience with the range and complexity of activities required to address a real-world environmental project. Student work is assessed via progress reports (written and oral), reflective essays and a final report. Prerequisites: ENV 101, Statistics, ENV 201/202, ENV 311.

An introductory exploration of the physical forms that knowledge and communication have taken in the West, from ancient oral cultures to modern print-literate culture.
