NÆR, Tilgange til arkæologi (F25)

The course is based on the historical and archaeological overview students have gained through the first semester and builds on it. The course treats approaches to questions such as for instance political organisation, gender studies, landscape archaeology, pottery analysis, technical development, art and propaganda etc, and is arranged thematically. The basic knowledge will be taught in lectures, but the students will prepare for each class discussions and presentations about these approaches and topics. This can happen in group discussions and group presentations. At the end of the semester the students will each present a short lecture that will give a specific example of an approach to an archaeological question and material.

The “Past Cultures” course is integral part of Approaches to Archaeology
