ANT 399 - Advanced Field Research in the Turkana Basin

Intended to follow the Turkana Basin Institute (TBI) Field School in NW Kenya. It should facilitate TBI field school alumni participation in ongoing field projects directed by senior researchers within the Turkana Basin.Upper-division Stony Brook undergraduates who demonstrate readiness may undertake a junior role within a larger project focusing on archaeology, human ecology, paleoanthropology, or vertebrate paleontology. The nature of ANT 399 offerings each semester will depend on which senior scholars are conducting field research and whether their projects are suitable for undergraduate involvement. They may include the opportunity to join a paleoanthropological survey of ancient landscapes for vertebrate remains, or to join an archaeological excavation of a 4000-year-old habitation site. Credit for each offering is determined for by the TBI faculty and is consistent for all registrants.
