    Faculty of Letters, Major in Archaeology and Ethnology

In the Major in Archaeology and Ethnology, we unravel human history and culture not only through written historical sources but also through 'things' such as valuable materials and artifacts housed at Keio University. To understand how people of the time and their natural environment intertwined to shape society, we engage with 'things' and learn methods for reconstructing the past. Furthermore, you can experience interdisciplinary collaborations that cross various academic fields, allowing you to explore human history from multiple perspectives.
