Replying to an earlier comment asking for the nature of email I was sent. This was for the anthro PhD program (archaeology). The email sent by the Graduate Admissions Office seemed generic enough, just had my name on it. It was followed by one from the faculty which was much more personalised. Interview on 6th Feb.
