Topic: Prehistory of the midwest us
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. Graduate students will more deeply explore theoretical trends used to create histories from material culture.

Topic: Historical archaeology
This course explores archaeological research focusing on the past ~500 years. This is an especially dynamic time period that saw the spread of capitalism, a plethora of colonial projects, mass migrations around the world, and industrialization. In this context, the course examines current research themes in historical archaeology, including: colonialism; Indigenous approaches to historical archaeology; human-environment interactions; trade and commodities; diasporas and migration; identity; landscapes; and material culture. You will learn about the theoretical approaches that archaeologists use when examining these topics, and you will become familiar with important studies from a wide range of geographic and temporal contexts. Although the course focuses largely on North American case studies, we will also draw on examples from many other parts of the world. Beyond becoming familiar with the range of modern historical archaeology research, you will also consider how archaeological studies of the relatively recent past can inform our understandings of the modern world.
