Subdisciplines
考古学分支学科提供了从北美平原到西南和中美洲到中间地区的古代社会的连续地理覆盖. 博彩平台推荐关注的土著社会范围从平等主义的狩猎采集者到中等社会，再到中美洲的城邦和帝国. The faculty’s theoretical and topical interests include human ecology, ethnoarchaeology, agency and social theory, lithic and ceramic analyses, remote sensing, disasters in ancient and modern times, and geophysical applications in archeology.
Archaeology links with biological anthropology in a number of ways. For instance, 遇到墓葬的考古学家经常求助于生物人类学家来分析他们的身材, 健康, and other topics. 许多考古学家和生物人类学家对人类生态学有着浓厚的兴趣.e. 人们适应环境和影响环境的方式. 考古学在很大程度上也与文化人类学有关, since much archaeological theory is derived from cultural theory. Given the vast diachronic interests of archaeology, 重要的考古理论也独立于民族志而产生. Ethnoarchaeology spans the two subdisciplines, 考古学家研究当代社会的物质文化，学习如何更好地推断过去的行为. 考古学和文化人类学都研究相互接触的民族和政治群体, including topics of migration, acculturation, trade and tribute, 征服, information sharing, elite emulation, and the rise of multiethnic powers.
Every summer, the CU Department of Anthropology conducts an archaeological field school for qualifying undergraduate and graduate students.

科罗拉多大学的生物人类学教职员工的兴趣和研究优势跨越了分支学科的界限，并促进了与其他学科和分支学科的教职员工和研究生的合作. We share an interest in human ecology, 人类学的一个广泛的综合领域，关注文化的相互作用, biology and the environment. We also share an interest in the processes of globalization, which are rapidly changing many aspects of the modern world. As biological anthropologists, 博彩平台推荐可以很好地分析全球化对生物学和行为之间相互作用的影响, 并分析人类和灵长类动物对不断变化的环境和不断减少的生物多样性的适应.
该系提供生态学几个不同方面的培训:普通生态学, early hominin paleoecology, nutritional, community, and evolutionary ecology. Our research foci also include anthropogenic and climatic effects on primate behavior and biology; conservation biology; primate evolution; feeding biology of humans and non-human primates; biogeochemical techniques for studying the diets and habitats of modern and fossil fauna; life history; endocrinology; growth and development; and maternal and infant 健康.

In addition, the cultural anthropology faculty share an interest in globalization, 运用民族志的技巧来理解鼓励全球同质化和地方分裂的同时期但相互抵消的力量. Processes related to globalization studied by cultural anthropologists and graduate students include the increasingly planetary integration of the economy; the spread of human insecurity with the proliferation of ethnic and 宗教 conflict, 暴力, 犯罪, 疾病, and financial volatility; the global depletion and degradation of environmental resources; the impact of 旅游 and large-scale development projects; the internationalization of environmental, 女权主义, 宗教, and human rights movements; the response to democratic structures; the rise of “world cities;” the spread of new information and communication technologies; and the increasingly global flows of popular media, advertising and consumer goods. 文化人类学教授对全球化进程的兴趣, human ecology, 应用人类学也与考古学和生物人类学的专业领域交叉.
