In order to understand the relationship between these two disciplines and the narratives created by each, this class will introduce students of history to the history and practice of archaeology and how data is used in modern fieldwork. We will cover the basic concepts and contributions of sciences that go into archaeological investigation (like geology, botany, zoology, osteology). We can use these archaeological methodologies to augment traditional historical text-based inquiries, and also to investigate the history of non-textual cultures.
