INTRODUCTION
This Handbook is prepared annually as a supplement to the
Calendar of the Faculty of Arts and Science, providing additional
information about the Department of Anthropology, its resources, programs and courses, for information only. The Calendar of the Faculty of Arts and Science is the official statement
of the Faculty's policies and practices. The content is accurate as
of the date of printing. The Department reserves the right to

ANTHROPOLOGY:
Anthropology examines the complexity and diversity of human
experience, past and present, through evolutionary, archaeological, social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. As such, Anthropology is a truly interdisciplinary venture that spans the natural
sciences, social sciences, and humanities. This broad mandate
has led to the division of the discipline into three broad areas of
research: Archaeology; Evolutionary Anthropology; and the
study of Society, Culture and Language.
Archaeologists study the material remains of the human past.
Archaeological methods range widely, from the study of artifacts
to the analysis of plant and animal remains, and Archaeological
research covers a vast expanse of time from the earliest stone
tools to the complex record let by modern industrial society. Archaeologists also grapple with a range of theoretical issues including material culture, culture change, identity, and ritual.
Many archaeologists today also work in collaboration with local
communities and engage with the questions of archaeological
ethics.
Evolutionary Anthropology is the study of the biological diversity of humans, the history of this diversity, and the biological relationships between humans and non-human primates.
Major foci in Evolutionary Anthropology include Human Biology,
the study of modern humans; Osteology, the study of the human skeleton; Paleoanthropology, the study of human evolution; and Primatology, the study of non-human primates. Evolutionary anthropologists integrate biological and social variables
in their explanations of the effects of evolution on humans and
other primates.
4
At the core of the study of Society, Culture and Language is
the question of how we humans organize our lives together, and
why we do so in such vastly different ways. The orientation is
global and contemporary. We explore social relations: relations
between kin and neighbours, between genders and generations,
between ethnic groups and nations, between rich and poor, between people and the natural environment that sustains them,
and between people and their gods. We also explore the production and communication of meanings through rituals, images,
memories, symbols and linguistic codes. Topics include environment, power, ideology, identity, subjectivity, media, sexuality,
ethics, affect, activism, health, cities, work and international
development.

CAREERS IN ANTHROPOLOGY emphasize either theoretical,
academic aspects or practical applications of the discipline. The
Undergraduate Program provides excellent preparation for business or public service careers in which international and human
diversity issues are important. Please check the following web
site for links to careers in Anthropology:

Career Navigator:
http://careernavigator.studentlife.utoronto.ca/
COURSES IN ANTHROPOLOGY can be effectively combined
with courses in many other disciplines. Anthropology also offers
a unique grounding for interests and studies in other Social Sciences, the Life Sciences, Health Sciences and Humanities.

COLLOQUIUM SERIES: Check the Anthropology Department
notice boards for interesting lectures which are quite often
scheduled for Friday afternoons. Upcoming lectures are also
posted on the web:

COUNSELLING: Students are urged to seek counselling on any
unclear academic matters, either from their College Registrar
(degree requirements) or the Departmental Student Counsellor
(program requirements).
Josie Alaimo, the Undergraduate Program Administrator and
Student Counsellor, is available to answer queries and provide
guidance at the Undergraduate Office, Room 258, Anthropology
Building (Tel: 416-978-6414). Faculty members may be consulted during their office hours or by appointment. Details of the
requirements for completion of Arts and Science degrees are
listed in the Faculty of Arts and Science Faculty Calendar (the
Arts and Science Faculty Office, Room 1006 Sidney Smith Hall,
100 St. George Street, Toronto, M5S 3G3). Please consult the
Family Care Office should you require assistance with personal
family matters at: Koffler Student Services Centre, 214 College
St., 978-0951, web address: http://www.familycare.utoronto.ca
The ANTHROPOLOGY STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION (ASA) is
the official student union for Anthropology undergraduates at
the University of Toronto St. George. The ASA, which is governed by an executive board composed of annually elected undergraduate students, acts as a medium between the Department of Anthropology and Anthropology undergraduates by representing undergraduate students on a number of departmental
boards and committees as well as to the department administration directly. The ASA’s main objective is to continuously improve the quality of the undergraduate experience for Anthropology undergraduates at the University of Toronto St. George.
The ASA houses many valuable resources for undergraduates,
which include: a past test and syllabi database, student feedback on courses and instructors, information on anthropological
and archaeological field-schools/projects, information on graduate programs, and more. The ASA awards an annual $250 scholarship to an undergraduate student wishing to conduct Anthropological/Archaeological research or fieldwork and also prints an
annual journal of undergraduate papers in Anthropology and its
sub disciplines.
6
The ASA also hosts a number of academic and entertainment
events including: academic lecture seminars highlighting the
research conducted by department professors and graduate students, a graduate school information seminar for undergraduates considering graduate studies, field-school information seminars, games nights, pub nights, an end-of-the-year semi-formal,
and more.
The ASA encourages all Anthropology undergraduates and those
interested in Anthropology to register with us. Registered members will receive our weekly newsletter and updates on ASA activities, and will be eligible for receiving additional resources
from the ASA. More information on the ASA and how to register
can be found on our website, Facebook group, and Twitter, and
students are further encouraged to contact the ASA via email or
phone, or by visiting the ASA office directly (see below).

The Archaeology Programs focus on the study of past human
societies primarily through their material remains, or “material
cultures”. Archaeologists explore the nature of and changes in
past cultures around the world through survey, excavation and
analyses of stone tools, pottery, bones, plant remains, architecture and other cultural residues. Some of the major
research foci of archaeologists are the nature of huntergatherer technology and economy in the Pleistocene, the origins of agriculture, pastoralism, urbanism and politically complex states, the workings of ancient exchange systems, and the
development of class-based and gender-based political and
economic inequalities in complex societies. Working archaeologists often specialize geographically, chronologically or thematically. Classical archaeologists, for example, specialize in the
cultures of the ancient Greco-Roman world, while paleoethnobotanists explore ways that botanical residues of ancient and
prehistoric cultures can inform us about their economies and
social systems. The specialist programs allow students to explore archaeology in a multidisciplinary setting.
Students in either specialist program should consult with the
program coordinator or faculty members in their intended areas
of specialization for advice on the selection of courses. Those
intending to go on to graduate studies in Departments such as
Fine Art History or Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations should
pay particular attention to language requirements at the graduate level.
The Archaeology Specialist (Arts program) is designed for
students in the Social Sciences or Humanities, who may be interested in such fields as prehistoric, Aegean, Classical, historical and Near and Middle Eastern archaeology. See details below. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies should
combine it with study of the ancient and modern languages relevant to their primary area of interest.
The Archaeology Major (Arts program) is designed so that
students learn archaeological methods, ethics, theory as well as
practical skills most important in archaeology, and it may be
combined with a program in Humanities or a program in the
Sciences.
