Interdisciplinary Archaeology Workshop
The Interdisciplinary Archaeology Workshop (IAW) list serves the archaeological community of the University of Chicago. Historically, archaeological research has been divided amongst different academic disciplines, with corresponding variations in intellectual traditions and approaches. It has always been the primary object of the IAW to bridge these divisions and to forge a healthy, informed dialogue on the aspects of method and theory that cut across the field’s diverse disciplinary locations. The workshop brings together faculty and students from Anthropology and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, forging an archaeological community that is more than the sum of its parts. In addition the workshop aspires to draw on members of other interested departments and committees such as Art History, Classics, the Ancient Mediterranean World, East Asian, South Asian, and Geographical Studies.
