WELCOME
The Columbia Center for Archaeology is designed to bring together those interested in the archaeological study of the past, materiality and the modern world, and heritage and museum studies, among other topics. We foster collaboration in teaching and research between the many archaeological researchers based in different departments and schools at Columbia and Barnard. We also arrange lectures, workshops, and other events, many of which are open to the public. More information on the Center’s history, aims and facilities.
Celebrating Black History Month
In celebration of Black History Month, the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA) has produced this video to showcase the diverse geographic representation of Black archaeologists, the wide range of their research questions and methodologies and share a vital message of inspiration and collaboration. The video features many amazing archaeologists, including friends of the Center for Archaeology. Look out for one of our alumni, Cecelia Morrow (CC 2021), at 24:11 and our upcoming speaker Ayana Flewellen (Assistant Professor at Stanford) at 00:26!
