The archaeology concentration within the art major requires a minimum of 30 credits at the 200-level or above. Archaeology Concentration The art and archaeology major with a concentration in archaeology introduces students to the art, artifacts and cultures of the ancient world, as well as to the field methods used by archaeologists today. Hood students regularly participate in excavations in the U.S. and around the world, most recently at sites in Italy, Turkey, Belize, Spain and Bermuda. U.S. sites include battlefields and historical sites in Maryland and Virginia. We also encourage students to seek internship opportunities locally and world-wide, as hands-on experience is vital to future studies and employment in archaeology.
