For most of human existence, there were no written texts therefore archaeologists learn to ¿read¿ history by examining material remains and combining a variety of techniques, methods and theories. In this course we will investigate how archaeological methods and theories help us answer questions such as : how pyramids and mummies help us understand Egyptian religion, how we know where the Vikings sailed; what Stonehenge had to do with ancient ideas about life and death, or why there is a buried mortuary city in China. We will also consider the role the present plays in understanding the past, and alternately, how the past informs the present and how archeology today collaborates with descendant communities. In lab sections you engage in hands on learning and will work with materials from people who lived about a thousand years ago in Indiana. Format: there will be illustrated lectures, films, demonstrations and hands on lab exercises. Evaluations will be based on exams, short papers and lab projects.
