Fall 2023 - Prof. Shahat is one of the most engaged and supportive instructors I’ve had at UCLA. His class was hands-on, we got to work directly with archaeobotanical materials and got a good sense of field and lab approaches. He was also super responsive outside of class and has continued to support my academic goals long after the quarter ended. Highly recommend taking this class if you get the chance!

Fall 2019 - Wake is the coolest professor ever. He assigns a ton of reading and his exams can be a lot of writing, but it's totally doable. First or second week of class, Wake busts out a bunch of frozen deer legs on the table for students to deflesh for their final projects. Using your hands to make tools or ornaments using the same technology as our ancestors was such a fun and immersive process. I highly recommend taking a class with Dr. Wake if you are at all interested in lithics.
