In Situ: News and Events of the Harvard Standing Committee on Archaeology
The Standing Committee on Archaeology is a multidisciplinary group
of scholars appointed to promote the teaching of archaeology at Harvard
and advance knowledge of archaeological activity, research, fieldwork,
and techniques in the many and varied fields where archaeology is
employed as an approach to past cultures and histories around the world.
Archaeology can be seen as the study of past human societies through
the recovery, analysis, and interpretation of material remains. Those
who practice archaeology employ a wide range of methods, techniques, and
theoretical orientations drawn from across the spectrum of academic
disciplines to further their specific intellectual goals. Likewise,
scholars of many disciplines who do not consider themselves to be
practicing archaeologists nevertheless use the results of archaeological
work in their teaching and research. Our members and students work with
and in a wide range of the museums and departments on Harvard's campus.
