Teaching & Academics

Y-PYRO and the YUALs support teaching and training of undergraduate and graduate students taking courses through both the Council on Archaeological Studies and the Department of Anthropology.

One of the classes in which Y-PYRO is most involved is ANTH/ARCG 316/716: Introduction to Archaeological Laboratory Sciences. This course serves as an introduction to a wide range of techniques used in archaeological laboratory analysis, including quantitative data analysis and statistics appropriate to each one.
