The Department of Anthropology and Applied Archaeology at Eastern New Mexico University is dedicated to excellence in educating our students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We have numerous undergraduate students majoring in our fields as well as a number of students from other majors attending courses in the department. All classes are taught by our faculty, with graduate students providing additional help with laboratory exercises. In addition we have a staff of experienced archaeologists and field technicians working at Blackwater Locality #1 and the Agency for Conservation Archaeology who provide students with opportunities for field experience and training.
