ANTHROPOLOGY
Anthropology is concerned with the study of humanity as a part of the
natural world, and of culture that developed to cope with that world.
Anthropologists have dealt largely with prehistoric and small-scale
societies and cultures in an effort to arrive at an understanding of
universal cultural laws. Anthropologists are increasingly studying
large-scale societies and the interaction between small- and large-scale
cultures in the global system. While anthropologists have largely
focused on prehistoric and non-western societies and cultures,
increasingly they are applying basic concepts and methods to the study
of modern, complex societies. The strengths of the anthropology program
include historical archaeology and the archaeology and cultural study of
the Plateau.
