This course examines the archaeologically developed histories of people living in the Midwest from the Paleo-Indian period to the historic period. From Hopewell to Mississippian, the Midwest was the center of some of the most important and interesting cultural developments in pre-Columbian North America. Interactions of people, histories, landscapes, ideologies, cosmologies, technologies and art, will be examined through case studies and examination of artifacts provided through collaboration with IUMMA. Students will use artifacts to develop narratives about the past.
