Human Interaction with the Environment
These courses provide the groundwork for studying the interconnectedness of humans with their environment. This relationship is an integral lense through which I will conduct my archaeological research, and these classes will provide insight into how humans can impact their environment, and what the various effects may be. They also introduce how to study the environment, and how environments function naturally. While most of these classes focus on the modern day connection, through careful study and evaluation the basic principles can be applied to Ancient peoples and how they impacted their own environments.
