archaeological perspective
You must approach your topic from the archaeological perspective. A paper which focuses on issues more relevant to cultural anthropology (for instance, an ethnography of extant foragers not connected to any archaeological site or assemblage) or medicine (for instance, clinical findings pertaining to malnourishment) will not be accepted.
You must develop a fleshed out research question, hypothesis, and/or thesis statement.
- It must be feasible.
- Not too broad or too narrow for the page limitation requirements of the end-term paper.
- Capable of fulfilling the refereed source requirements.
- It must pertain to this specific course.
- Use the archaeological perspective (not cultural anthropology, sociology, or medicine).
- If your paper has the potential to overlap with material covered in course lectures and/or course readings, your paper must provide substantive new content (rather than simply providing a rehash or summary of topics already covered in class).[unique_solution]
End-term papers must be 7-8 typed pages of text, not including the cover page, references cited, or optional appendix. Papers in which the body text of the paper is not at least five (5) full pages long when formatted properly will not be graded and will receive an automatic zero (0) points.
The end-term paper must include the following components:
- Cover page
- Paper title
- Your name
- Abstract
- Text
- References
- Appendix
All components must be typed, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides, using Times New Roman, size 12 font.
