Through field and laboratory work, students will receive closely supervised instruction in the basic skills needed to conduct archaeological research, including surface documentation, transit mapping, excavation, artifact processing, and preliminary artifact analysis. In addition to these departmental resources, students have opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary workshops and to take classes with archaeologists in other departments, including Classics, the Oriental Institute, East Asian Studies, and Art History. The Regenstein and Crerar Libraries host superb collections with over 7 million volumes. Most graduate students in the Department of Anthropology receive merit-based financial aid. Awards range from full tuition scholarships to fellowships which include full tuition and substantial stipends.
Awards are renewable, assuming satisfactory academic progress.
The period of eligibility for divisional financial aid is four years from entry into the program.
