The department's archaeology program primarily concentrates on the Americas, with particular emphasis on the Eastern and Midwestern United States as well as Mesoamerica. Presently, students are also conducting studies in the Southwestern U.S., Southern Plains, and various regions of South America, including both lowland and highland areas. Faculty members possess extensive experience spanning from the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains and from the northern Plains down to Central America. While instructors bring varied technical skills and theoretical perspectives, they are united by their focus on New World societies and cultures from the Late Pleistocene period up to early historical eras.
