About This Exhibit

Nearly every day we see headlines about how (or whether) humans are changing our global environment. This semester, students in ANT475/575 Environmental Archaeology learned about how archaeologists conceptualize past environmental change, study it, and build convincing arguments about that change. Led by archaeologist and instructor John Milhauser, the class collaborated with the Innovation Studio to create exhibits sharing what they have learned with a general audience. Their projects span the globe and across time from the ancient world to modern day.
