Description: People have been living in the region we now call Texas perhaps for as much as 18,000 years. Texas covers enormous geographic and environmental diversity; in the past, this diversity provided prehistoric and historic peoples with abundant resources and opportunities to develop unique different cultural traditions. Texas has been described as representing no fewer than five different distinct culture areas. This class introduces students to the prehistoric (and some historic) groups who occupied parts of Texas on a full or part time basis. We draw lessons not only from traditional research and academic sources, but also from the vibrant field of consulting (also called contract archaeology, or cultural resource management). To engage closely with archaeological places and materials in our local region of focus, field trips to archaeological sites take place two times throughout the semester. Cross-list: ANTH 583. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ANTH 383 if student has credit for ANTH 583.
