About

At the Archaeology MA program offered by University of Saskatchewan you will study artifacts and other physical remains of earlier societies and communities in order to unravel the mysteries of human cultural diversity and adaptation.

Overview

Program Details

The Archaeology MA program offered by University of Saskatchewan has an emphasis on the Northern Plains and Boreal Forest regions, Northwest Coast, and other Circumpolar regions connecting with local archaeological societies and communities across Saskatchewan and beyond. Our faculty research areas include:

  • Bioarchaeology
  • Environmental archaeology
  • Zooarchaeology
  • Computational archaeology
  • Ancient hunter-gatherers
Archaeologists can reconstruct past human behaviours and life ways from tools, shelters, ornaments, food remnants, modified landscapes, and even human remains. Archaeology at the University of Saskatchewan focuses on the past peoples of western Canada and the broader Circumpolar North. The application of natural science methodologies in the analysis of archaeological materials is an important part of archaeological research.
