Bachelor of Arts (With Optional Concentration in GIS) in Archaeology and Geography

Program Overview

 

Archaeology & Geography study past human cultures and societies through the analysis of material remains. It is the interpretation of these artifacts that help us understand our past, allowing us to learn more about ourselves today.

Learn various aspects of archaeological interpretation and have the opportunity to put them into practice in the field and in the laboratory. Combine the theoretical and methodological approaches of the discipline to give you a balanced and in-depth look at the subject.

You will expand your understanding of areas such as: anthropology, languages, human geography, physical geography, geology, GIS and remote sensing. These courses and others will prepare you for the multidisciplinary nature of archaeology & geography.

The location of the University of Lethbridge offers an excellent centre for field-based research and teaching as it is situated in the coulees of the Oldman River, in close proximity to the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by rangelands and areas of intense agricultural activity within a few hours of large urban centers.

The department also hosts a rock and fossil collection, an aerial photograph collection, soil laboratory equipment and a teaching map collection.

Geographical information systems | Archaeology & geography majors are encouraged to build on their knowledge with more advanced research methods in geographical information systems (GIS). A notable area of strength at uLethbridge, GIS has become a growth area in research, teaching and employment for our graduates. These courses also benefit the study of archaeology & geography.

The department hosts a GIS/remote-sensing lab for teaching and student projects, as well as dedicated research and graduate student areas, all containing high-end computers and the latest hardware and software.
