To declare your participation in the Program in Archaeology, write to Professor Nathan Arrington (nta@princeton.edu)

The Program in Archaeology provides students with an interdisciplinary foundation in archaeology—the study of the material remains of the past—and equips students to use archaeological evidence in other fields of inquiry. The Program offers courses that cover many cultures and periods, including Egypt, the Near East, Greece, Rome, and the Americas. It encourages a deep integration of the humanities and the sciences, and promotes the awareness of issues of cultural heritage.

The program is open to all majors who have taken any one of the courses offered by the program. Students should apply to the program during their sophomore year.
