What area of the world do you want to study? There are a lot of programs that are good, but they're not all good for all kinds of archaeology. Are you interested in historical archaeology (like of the colonial US or Caribbean), Native American archaeology, Roman archaeology and classics, Near Eastern archaeology (represent!), East Asian archaeology, or somewhere else? Different programs will have very different strengths because of where the professors specialize.

If you can narrow down your interest to at least a geographic range, and let us know where you will be attending school (like are we talking US, UK, somewhere else?) we can give you much better advice.

Are you interested in colleges in a particular region or country?

I'm interested in Roman and historical archeology, and I am looking for a place in the US where there is a good program
