Generally speaking, the undergraduate course of archaeology is for liberal arts. But graduate students, the direction of scientific and technological archaeology is more suitable for students studying chemistry. As long as the rest can be admitted, there is no big difference.
Archaeology is a science that can combine mathematics and physics.
For example, carbon fourteen, thermoluminescence and so on are all common. According to the statistical analysis types of utensils, the physical objects are studied to speculate on the use functions, such as small mouth and pointed bottom bottles; The firing temperature, the source of tire materials and the composition of decorative pigments were studied by chemical analysis.
There are also remote sensing technologies to explore; Phytolith analysis, starch particle analysis; Food preference analysis includes carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis and strontium isotope analysis. Ancient DNA analysis; There is also a chemical analysis of the remains of unearthed objects, such as blood or starch left on stone tools.
Archaeological research also involves a lot of quantitative analysis. Such as type axiology, sorting tombs according to the value and statistical analysis of funerary objects, and so on.
Archaeology is divided into two parts: literature and field (artifacts). Literature is close to liberal arts, and the field (utensils) is basically the world of science, but the two parts are not particularly separated. Even if you are a science student, the reading ability of classical literature always has certain requirements. For example, chestnuts, the archaeological courses of Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture are as follows:
Large-scale platform courses: archaeological discovery and exploration in China, introduction to museology, general introduction to world history, ancient history of China, introduction to history and culture in China (all the above compulsory courses are introductory courses), ancient ceramics in China, ancient bronzes in China, ancient inscriptions on the Silk Road, Buddhist archaeology in China, and art archaeology (all the above elective courses are special courses).
Specialized courses: Introduction to Archaeology, Introduction to Cultural Heritage (required by the college and will continue to be an introductory course), Archaeology of China (six semesters), Introduction to Field Archaeology, Archaeological Investigation and Geographic Information System, Archaeology of Science and Technology, Field Archaeological Practice, Regulations and Management of Cultural Relics (required by the major, Such as geographic information system), advanced mathematics in liberal arts, cultural anthropology, human skeleton, animal archaeology, quantitative archaeology, ancient Roman archaeology and general theory of art, metallurgical archaeology, general theory of ancient philology, general theory of Yin, Zhou and Jin dynasties, and plant archaeology (the above are professional elective courses, the proportion of science factors such as mathematics, chemistry and biology has increased obviously, but it also gives a way out for "pure liberal arts students", such as ancient philology and art archaeology.
