Anthropology

Welcome to Anthropology

Welcome to the Department of Anthropology! 

Here you can find information about Saint Mary's anthropology programs, resources for current students, and news and events from the department. 

 

What is anthropology? 

Anthropology is the study of people - through all time and space - as both biological and cultural animals. The four subdisciplines traditionally distinguished are represented by our faculty and curriculum: Biological Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, Archaeology, and Socio-cultural Anthropology.
