I'm planning to switch from Engineering to Archaeology, and the last thing I need is more physics. :/ So if there's as much physics in Archaeology as Engineering requires (esp. the same kinds of physics classes), then I'm dropping my plan to major in Archaeology though it is such an interesting subject because I do understand physics, I'm afraid.
Ummm none whatsoever if you can avoid it and still meet your colleges mathematical criteria. At my school to graduate you only needed to take one math course of your choice as long as it was at least 100 level, which algebra was. If this is undergrad where do you attend college? Usually you have an Anthropology major with a concentration in Archaeology.
Physics is not required in any archaeology program I am aware of. At least a few hard science classes, however, should be and will make your chances of succeeding after finishing your BA much better.
