Andy, It sounds like you are taking the shot-gun approach to seeking out grad schools. There is not necessarily anything wrong with such an approach. However, you may want to think about what topics you are interested in studying, and authors that you enjoy reading, etc. This will help you to narrow down the entire field of archaeology to a managable list of 10-20 schools that you would consider attending. Also, as you indicate that you are an undergraduate, you may want to speak to an advisor at your institution who presumably went to graduate school and could help you in making your decisions. Words from an ole sage, Michael S. Nassaney Department of Anthropology Western Michigan University P.S. And, oh, lest I forget, get your hands on the infamous (and indispensible) AAA guide to anthropology departments. I'll keep you busy for a couple of evenings and it has a tremendous amount of information on Anthro depts. especially in North America.
