What is unique about this program at the U of M? Anthropologists in the department engage in active field and laboratory work, bringing that experience into the classroom as an integral part of their teaching. Fieldwork sites are diverse and include Canada (Manitoba, Arctic, West-Coast, Ontario), Latin America (Peru, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Cuba), the Caribbean, Asia (China, India, Bangladesh, Nepal), Europe, the former Soviet Union, the Middle East (Israel, Turkey), and Africa (West Africa, South Africa). The university is also home to a number of Anthropology Laboratories, including the Bioanthropology Digital Image Analysis Laboratory and the CT Shay Palaeobotanical Collection, which permit advanced study and research in osteology, archaeology, zooarchaeology, and lithic and botanical analyses.
