ARCHAEOLOGY'S GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Our department has always emphasized archaeology as a global, comparative study of both the distant and recent past. Our faculty and students work both in places like Greece and Egypt that immediately come to mind when people think about archaeology, but they also work in Turkey, Spain, Israel, Iraq, South Africa, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Peru, Italy, Ethiopia, Mali, Syria, Pakistan, Montserrat and Guadeloupe (West Indies), France, Italy, the United States, Bermuda, Guatemala, Mexico, Jordan, Taiwan, China, Japan, Indonesia, Panama, and Ireland.
Through Boston
University’s Study Abroad, we offer archaeological field schools in Spain and Guatemala, and our students also receive training through participation in ongoing faculty research projects around the globe.
