The Department of Archaeology and Ethnology requires research that goes beyond book learning. Our collection of archaeological and ethnological objects number in the tens of thousands, including national treasures and important cultural properties. Many of these materials have been collected during excavations and ethnographic fieldwork since the 1910s. Students in our program can employ these invaluable resources for their research. They also have opportunities to join archaeological excavations and fieldwork both domestic and abroad. We place significant emphasis on fieldwork and do not limit the scope of region or time period.
