3. What college or university should I go to?

The American Anthropological Association publishes annually the "AAA Guide 1996-1997." It lists most of the graduate and undergraduate anthropology programs in the U.S. and Canada. Included in the listings are the names and research interests of all faculty in the department.

for $50. You should be able to find a copy at any college or university library.

Interdisciplinary Programs

The AAA guide coverage is less complete for interdisciplinary programs combining art, architecture, classics, language, and history to study ancient and classical civilizations or historical archaeology.
