5. Yasur-Landau, Assaf (Ph.D., Tel Aviv University, Asst. Prof. in History): Ancient Israel and the Near East, Aegean Bronze Age Studies, Archeology of migration and interregional interaction, Domestic behavioral patterns.
General Statement:

The doctoral program in anthropological archaeology is highly selective, focusing on the archaeology of late precolonial societies in East and West Africa and North America, especially the Southwest and California. The program features a major emerging concentration on the archaeology of colonial encounters among peoples of Europe, Africa, and the Americas, supported by recent and scheduled faculty hires. The program’s focus on the archaeology of colonialism is augmented by departmental strengths in the cultural anthropology of colonial encounters and is further enriched by interdisciplinary relationships with faculty in History, Latino and Latin American Studies, and History of Art and Visual Culture. We anticipate another faculty appointment in historic archaeology within the next three years, and plan yet another in the coming six years...

UC Santa Cruz’s archaeology graduate program is distinctive in insisting that theories of power, production and exchange, human ecology, gender, ethnicity, and technological practice be explored through rigorous laboratory and field research methods. Doctoral students choose methodological concentrations in any of the following: ceramic materials analysis, landscape and architectural analysis, zooarchaeology, and chemical and isotopic characterization studies, singly or in combination. They work closely with faculty as apprentices in state-of-the-art research laboratories learning and applying advanced materials and spatial analysis techniques to address significant social, historical and ecological problems.

The normal course of progress in the doctoral program in anthropology involves up to three years of increasingly specialized study before the PhD. Qualifying Examination, a field or lab based research project of variable length, and a year of dissertation writing. Students entering with Masters degrees may progress through the program more swiftly, depending upon the fit of prior work with the requirements of the doctoral program. First-year students take a foundational course in the history of archaeological theory, another elective theory course, and pass a portfolio review of their year’s work. They also participate in the departmental colloquia and proseminars, work closely with their faculty advisor to define methodological and regional foci of their curriculum, and to begin to develop their dissertation prospectus.

Archaeology is considered an interdisciplinary subject, drawing on art history, classics, the physical and biological sciences as well as anthropology and other specialized institutes, all brought together by the Columbia Center for Archaeology. Library resources are particularly outstanding, including the New York Historical Society and the research branch of the New York Public Library. The William Duncan Strong Museum at Columbia contains the archaeological collections from the Stadt Huys and Hanover Square Block sites. Graduate students have the opportunity to conduct research or do internships at the National Museum of the American Indian, the New York Historical Society, the American Museum of Natural History, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, and many others. Both M.A. and Ph.D.s are awarded. Ph.D. study is fully funded.

The university has facilities for element analysis, remote sensing, geophysical prospection, GIS, AMS dating, palynology, thin-sectioning, and luminesence dating. The Ph.D. degree is awarded to students who wish to pursue a less-structured, innovative program of study in the historical-underwater specialty areas. A Masters of Science in Archaeological Resources Management is the Department’s newest degree offering anticipated in fall, 2007. This M,S. degree is unique in that it is a 12-month, intensive degree track modeled on successful British examples. The M.S. degree is not coupled to the Departments Ph.D. program. Entry into one program does not imply admission to the other. Our Ph.D. program also has these significant material advantages: financial support is given to virtually all of our students through teaching and research assistantships, and the Athens, GA, area has a comparatively low cost of living. Financial support is not available to students admitted to the M.S. degree program because of its time-intensive nature. Email us, arrange a visit, or apply on-line at the Department of Anthropology's Web page.

Historical archaeology has been a key area of interest since the 1960s. From its foundation, the department pioneered the academic study of Scottish rural settlements, many of which were abandoned as a result of the Highland Clearances. Since the 1970s, there has been added interest in medieval archaeology, and the department currently has one of the largest collections of medieval archaeologists in Britain. Postgraduate degrees include the M.Phil. degree in Medieval Archaeology (1 year taught), the M.Litt. (2 years by research), and the Ph.D. (3 years by research). The department is located in a modern building and has large laboratory work areas, is well provisioned with computing facilities, and benefits from the presence of an active field unit (GUARD). Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and in addition to its own museum, the university is situated close to the city museum, with which it has a close working relationship.

General Statement:
The Department of Maritime Civilizations offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees combining coastal and underwater archaeology, maritime history, oceanography, and coastal and underwater geology and geomorphology. It is fundamental to the orientation of the department that specialized work in any field of maritime studies relates to work in the other fields. Students are expected to supplement class work through participation in archaeological excavations, geological surveys, and Zodiac trips along the coast of Israel. Students who intend to carry out underwater research should earn scuba diving licenses before their registration or during the first year of study. Courses in small boat handling are also available. Individuals from abroad who do not know Hebrew may apply for admission; however, during their first year they will be expected to enroll in the university's accelerated Hebrew course and take directed reading courses with members of the faculty in order to join the regular program during their second year. The M.A. degree may be earned with or without a thesis; in the latter case, students must register for a minor in another department as well as in the Department of Maritime Civilizations. Related departments in the university include Archaeology, Land of Israel Studies, History, Geography (including a special program in shipping), Biblical History, and Art History. The department has a research arm, the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies at the University of Haifa, through which research is conducted. In addition to the institute, the department maintains ties with the National Maritime Museum and the National Center for Oceanographic and Limnological Research. Ongoing research projects at the institute include: Caesarea land and sea excavations; the Tel Nami land and sea regional project; the Tel Akko project; study of the Jewish contribution to seafaring throughout history; Islamic maritime law and trade; and various studies focusing on marine resources, geology, and geomorphology.

General Statement:
The department offers the M.A./M.S. degree in historical archaeology through a graduate program that focuses specifically on the study of cultures that either have inhabited the world since the beginning of modern history or have a long literate tradition. A personalized research experience is a key component of the program. The degree program in historical archaeology is focused on anthropological approaches, but students are also required to take courses in geography and history. A thesis based on original research is required for graduation. This program was founded as a distinct graduate degree in historical archaeology by Distinguished Professor Charles E. Orser, Jr., a leading expert in the field and the founding editor of the International Journal of Historical Archaeology. He holds an adjunct professorship at the National University of Ireland, Galway, and annually includes students from around North America in his Irish research. His research concentrates on documenting and interpreting daily life in rural Ireland during the 1650-1850 period. This international experience is only one way students may complete an advanced field school course, which is part of the unique master's program. Beginning in 2004, the department began to offer a second field school in historical archaeology. Headed by Elizabeth M. Scott, this research project focuses on the colonial French settlements along the middle Mississippi Valley of Missouri and Illinois. This important area includes Ste. Genevieve, New Bourbon, and other colonial villages. A third field school, in prehistoric archaeology, is offered by Professor James M. Skibo. This research project, located in northern Michigan, sometimes investigates contact-period Native American settlements and later historic-period sites. The degree concentrates on the analysis, examination, and presentation of professional reports of investigations and scholarly studies detailing original research in multidisciplinary historical archaeology. Coursework is allowed from a number of departments, including Sociology and Anthropology, History, and Geology-Geography. Graduates of the program are consequently prepared for professional careers in historical archaeology in CRM and museum environments. Students are also well prepared to enter doctoral programs to continue their education.
