- Archaeology and the Media: Digital Narratives in, for, and about Archaeology
Course Syllabus for UC Berkeley Anthropology course 136i taught by Ruth Tringham. Course satisfied departmental methods requirement. "Through the course, students build an expertise in media literacy through a critical awareness of the way in which digital media are used by archaeologists, journalists, TV producers, film producers, and many others to express in a linear narrative format how archaeologists and others construct knowledge about the past and about the many pasts that they have created. The ultimate aim of the course is to enable students to create their own digital narratives from their own research."
- Special Topics in Archaeology: Public Archaeology
This 4 unit course (Anthro 230-i), taught by Paul Farnsworth at UC Berkeley provides an overview of archaeology "in the public interest." Much of the course covers topics usually considered under the heading "cultural resource management" (CRM) but topics such as public outreach and education, the role of museums and universities, employment prospects and training opportunities in archaeology outside the university setting are also covered.
 Graduate Degrees in Applied Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida offers M.A and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Anthropology, each of which features a focused track in archaeology. Both programs aim to develop creative scholars and scientists with career interests in academic, public, and private sectors, who will apply their knowledge and skills to contemporary archaeology issues. A holistic view of the four subfields of anthropology, and their relations to other academic disciplines, is emphasized. While appreciating such interdisciplinary ties, students interested in archaeology take five required courses, including Public Archaeology, Foundations of Applied Anthropology, Archaeological Theory, Archaeological Methods, and Quantitative Methods. Students also choose from a broad list of electives, such as Cultural Resources Management, Heritage Tourism, Museum Methods, Historical Archaeology, and Archaeological Science. In addition, we offer numerous courses on the prehistoric and early historic archaeology of several geographic areas, especially in the Americas, but also in other parts of the world. Many external electives are available, with a minimum number required for both M.A. and Ph.D. programs. Students in either degree program may also pursue a concentration in Cultural Resource Management, which allows them to create a more concentrated plan of study in the principles and practices of CRM.
