Anthropology PROGRAM: ARCHAEOLOGICAL TECHNICIAN Archaeology can be an emphasis within the anthropology minor, part of a Bachelor of Integrated Studies degree, or stand alone as an independent program. The program trains students for work as archaeological technicians, adding a vocational component to an academic discipline. Archaeology, with its modem emphasis on scientific problem solving, an evolutionary perspective, and ecological theory, is also a valuable part of a student's science education.
