Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Science

The Graduate Certificate in Archaeological Science is aimed at students who want to add a scientific approach and interdisciplinary perspective to their studies. The certificate is open to Penn students admitted and already enrolled in a graduate program (Master or Ph.D.).

Summer Archaeobotany Program

Each summer, both undergraduate and graduate students studying archaeobotany in the Center for the Analysis of Archaeological Materials (CAAM) can participate in a summer program that focuses on field training in archaeobotanical methods.
