    About our program
  • Biological Anthropology

    Biological Anthropology provides students with the background to study morphology, systematics, bioarchaeology, anatomy, paleopathology and evolution.

    Our Program
  • Archaeology

    The Archaeology program emphasizes comparative study of the emergence and development of complex societies, from their initial foundations in hunter-gatherer behavior to their manifestation as states and empires.

    Our Program
  • What makes us different is what makes us human

    The Department of Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh covers a wide range of geographical and topical specialties in all four subfields of anthropology (archaeology, biological anthropology, social and cultural anthropology, and anthropological linguistics).
