I’m also an undergrad majoring in Anthropology with a concentration in Evolutionary Anthropology.

UCSD seems to offer a lot of courses in Archaeology that might interest you:

[ul]
[]ANAR 125 Weapons and Warfare in the Ancient Near East
[]ANAR 140 The Foundations for Social Complexity in the Near East
[]ANAR 141 Prehistory of the Holy Lands
[]ANAR 103 Archaeology of the Holy Lands
[]ANAR 185 Middle East Culture Ecology
[]ANAR 190 Middle East Archaeology Field School - this is a 12 unit course
[/ul]

After doing some research, it seems like UCSD has way more to offer if you want to emphasize in the ancient east

These are the course catalog for anthropology for a few UC’s:

[UCR Anthropology courses](http://www.anthropology.ucr.edu/courses/undergrad.pdf)

[UCSD Anthropology courses](http://www.anthro.ucsd.edu/courses/master.shtml)

[UCSB Anthropology courses](UC Santa Barbara General Catalog - Anthropology)

[UCLA Anthropology courses by quarter](Social Sciences Classes Archive)

[UCB Anthrology course by quarter](http://anthropology.berkeley.edu/courses?field_division_value=All&field_semester_value=All&field_year_value=All)

For UCLA and Berkeley, you can check out the courses for every quarter for the last few years, it should give you a general idea of the type of courses they offer.

UCSD also has a [Major in Anthropology with Concentration in Archaeology](http://anthropology.ucsd.edu/undergraduates/majors-minors.shtml) . None of the UC’s even offer something this close to Archaeology. I wouldn’t worry too much on your undergrad since you want to go to grad school. You can emphasize complete in the Ancient East once you’re at grad school. You’ll just have to find a program.
