What Writing Samples Should I Send?

Written work is requested for two reasons: 1) to show that you can think and 2) to show that you can write. It is preferable that the work be at least related to archaeology (i.e., a cultural or physical anthropology paper is acceptable). It is best to submit a copy of a paper with a grade and comments from the instructor but if this is not possible a clean copy will suffice. If you have had a paper published you may submit that, either as an offprint or a photocopy.

Try to avoid reports that are nothing more than site descriptions or artifact lists. The paper should show that you can synthesize information and that you are capable of critical thought.

If you have completed an MA submit a copy of your thesis. If you are still writing your thesis submit a term paper and perhaps a couple of chapters of the thesis. The best chapters to submit are those that deal with your research, not the background or literary review chapters.
