三个分支学科

Because of its wide range of subject matter, anthropology at newbb电子平台 is organized into three subfields that share a common focus on humankind and form a unified academic discipline.

Linguistics courses are offered through the Linguistics Department.

The subfield options are:

  • Archaeological anthropology, involving the excavation, description, 分析, and interpretation of extinct cultures.
  • Sociocultural anthropology, which focuses on the description, 分析, and interpretation of existing cultures, and is interested in both particular and universal features of these cultures.
