414 2002-2003 California State University, Fresno General Catalog
142. Old World Prehistory (3)
Examination of current knowledge of the
prehistory of one area of the Old World.
Chronologies, current findings, and impor-tant
issues in theory method are reviewed.
Consideration of these matters in relation to
work in archaeology throughout the world
and to work in closely related disciplines
such as biology and geology. Some historic
archaeology may also be included. Areas
include Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Af-rica,
and Australia. (Formerly ANTH 132)
143. Archaeology and
Prehistory of California (3)
Origins and prehistory of the California
Native Americans. Examination of the ar-chaeological
record, both statewide and re-gionally,
with emphasis on adaptations to
natural and social environments from 12,000
B.P. until early historic times. (Formerly
ANTH 139T)
145. Cultural Resources Management (3)
Prerequisites: G.E. Foundation and Breadth
Area D. Provides an in-depth overview of
historic and prehistoric cultural resources
(districts, sites, buildings, and objects), their
significance, and their management in the
U.S. Topics include the legal context for
CRM, identifying and evaluating cultural
resources, assessing effects, treatment plan-ning,
and careers in CRM. G.E. Integration
ID. (Formerly ANTH 139T)
159T. Topics in Archaeology (1-6;
max total 12 if no topic repeated)
Prerequisite: varies with title. Special stud-ies
in archaeological methods, techniques,
history and theory, or of prehistoric culture
areas not covered in the regular curriculum.
(Formerly ANTH 139T)
D. PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
CURRICULUM
161. Bio/Behavioral Evolution
of the Human Species (3)
Prerequisites: G.E. Foundation and Breadth
Area B. Examines the evolution of the hu-man
species and its relationship to living
and extinct primates. Explores the biologi-cal
basis of human culture. Integrates evolu-tionary
biology, geochronology, and an-thropology
in order to understand the bio/
behavioral nature of modern man. G.E.
Integration IB.
162. Primates (3)
An introduction to the study of primate
biological and behavioral evolution. Explores
sociobiological theory in order to explain
the unity and diversity of social behavior in
prosimians, monkeys, and apes.
affect their lifestyles and their international
relations today. (Formerly ANTH 186)
126. Cultures and Foods of East Asia (3)
(Same as ASAM 151.) Treats cuisine as a
systematic product of the interaction be-tween
culture and ecology. Focuses on so-ciocultural
rather than bio-nutritional fac-tors
in the preparation and ritual implications
of food in Mainland and Insular Asia. Stu-dents
learn to prepare and serve a variety of
Oriental dishes. (Formerly ANTH 181)
130. Peoples and
Cultures of the Southwest (3)
A survey of Native American cultures of the
Southwestern United States and Northwest-ern
Mexico from their prehistoric origins to
the present. Emphasis is placed on cultural
continuity and change during the past 400
years of contact with western culture. (For-merly
ANTH 127)
138T. Topics in Cultural Anthropology
(1-6; max total 12 if no topic repeated)
Prerequisite: varies with title. Special stud-ies
in the theory and practice of organized
cooperation and conflict in nature and cul-ture.
(Formerly ANTH 149T)
C. ARCHAEOLOGY CURRICULUM
101A-S. Introductory Fieldwork
in Archeology (6)
Introduces basic methods and strategies for
archaeological excavation and site survey in
a public service context. Involves a commit-ment
by students to a block time in the field
away from campus.
101B-S. Advanced Fieldwork
in Archeology (6)
Advanced methods and strategies for
archaelogical excavation and site survey in a
public service context. Involves a commit-ment
by students to a block of time in the
field away from campus.
140. Contemporary Archaeology (3)
Examines archaeological theory (both his-torical
and contemporary) as well as meth-ods
and techniques used by archaeologists
to gather, analyze, and interpret data. (For-merly
ANTH 106)
141. Prehistory of North America (3)
Traces the development of Native Ameri-can
cultures from the Arctic to Mesoamerica,
from the peopling of the continent to early
historic times. Examines the archaeological
evidence for the antiquity, spread, and varia-tion
of cultural adaptations to changing
ecological conditions. (Formerly ANTH
131)
163. Human Variation (3)
A cross-cultural examination of variations
in human morphology, physiology, and bio-chemistry.
Establishes the correlation be-tween
variations in human biology and varia-tions
in climate, culture, nutrition, and
disease.
164. Human Osteology (3)
Introduces a range of analytic techniques
for extracting information from human skel-etal
remains: sexing and aging, osteometry,
odontometry, the examination and diagno-sis
of epigenetic traits and pathological le-sion,
and the statistical interpretation of
skeletal data.
169T. Topics in Physical Anthropology
(1-6; max total 12 if no topic repeated)
Special studies of the discovery and inter-pretation
of information in physical anthro-pology,
and of the application of this sub-discipline
in legal, medical, and scientific
research.
E. ADVANCED
STUDY CURRICULUM

the analysis and curation of ar-chaeological
collections; design and curation
