Department History:
The first anthropology courses to be taught at Washington State University were offered in 1942 by the Department of Sociology. Growth of anthropology classes was rapid and within a few years the department was renamed the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Re-organizing again in 1966, the Department of Anthropology became an independent department within the Division of Social Sciences and Humanities.
The stated curriculum goal of the Department is to familiarize the student with (1) the evolution of man, (2) pre-historic development of culture, and (3) the patterns of cultural behavior in primitive and folk societies. The department grants the B.A. and M.A. degrees in Anthropology as well as the Ph.D.
Arrangement note
The records of the Department of Anthropology are arranged in two series. Series one, Departmental Administration, dates from 1964 through 1976 and consists of developmental proposals dealing with the field schools, archeology, social anthropology, sociology, and the budget. Also included in the series are materials related to the graduate program, departmental minutes, and an accreditation report.
Series two, Excavation Projects, dates from 1968 through 1974 and deals with the Marmes and the Ozette projects. Included are reports and proposals as well as correspondence involving Richard Daughtery (Department Chairman), Roald Fryxell (Professor of Anthropology), Charles Fred Bohannan (National Park Service Archeologist), and Gerald Grosso (Project Director). Substantial correspondence is directed to legislators and Congressmen in search of support for the projects.
