Parkland students in the field archaeology class (Ant 220) help teach a visiting group of Japanese high school students basic archaeological technique. The field archaeology class was conducting a controlled surface collection of the Grand Village of the Illini State Historic Site, located near Starved Rock State Park.


Suggestions For Anthropology Majors:

At the current time, Parkland does not offer a "Degree" in anthropology. Strictly speaking you would be awarded an Associate of Arts degree. However, if you are transferring to a senior institution to complete a baccalaureate in anthropology, then we have a few suggestions.
