What could these people possibly be looking for? Well, apparently my front door step was once home to the influential Harvard Indian College, an institution founded in 1655. The school once boasted five students, whose many treasures the modern-day Anthro kids are now digging up. Alas, only one of these five scholars, named Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, graduated from the short-lived school. He died a few months later from tuberculosis...
...short, it’s pretty clear these kids are looking for historically inconsequential trinkets. Perhaps I could understand if Anthro 1130 was providing students with a rigorous training in archeological methodology. But one look at the CUE guide reveals the course to be what is usually termed a “blow-off” elective class.

In most cases, you still have to take the Core areas you’re exempt from...
