  • Cultural Anthropology and Anth 1602, Prehistoric Cultures, relate to one another and in other places are sometimes taught as one course (Introduction to Anthropology). Thus, some overlap exists between the courses. If you have taken Anth 1602, you might want to review that material from time to time, thereby extending the course coordination on your own.
