Department of Anthropology

Anthropologists study humans and their connections to the world around them. Our department focuses on three ways of studying that human experience: Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology.   In this way our programs allow students to examine humans and their cultures in a comparative, cross-cultural, and holistic light.  We look at contemporary culture (Cultural Anthropology), the material culture and lifeways of past peoples (Archaeology), and human biological variation and evolution (Biological Anthropology). 
 
Join us in any of our classes or degrees to unravel the mysteries of human cultural diversity and adaptation. 
 
Please note that the subject code of all our class is ANTH to represent the Department of Anthropology.  This includes courses that used to be coded as ARCH.  The course content has not changed, just the subject code.  Please email us at anthropology@usask.ca if you have questions. Join us on the human journey!
