ANT 102 - Intro to Archaeology

Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the world of prehistoric archaeology. We will examine how knowledge about the past is created, debated, and sometimes abused. We will survey world prehistory from the earliest hominids through the rise of the first “civilizations” to expose the range of variation in past human social and political organization. By adopting a global and comparative approach, we will develop a better understanding and appreciation for this diversity. As we learn about the messages and lessons that archaeology has to offer we should begin to think critically about our own society and reflect on the possibilities for its improvement.
