ANTH 625 - Graduate Seminar in Historical Archaeology


3 Credit(s) |  |
Description:
This course provides an overview of the field of Historical Archaeology. Since its emergence in the 1960’s, historical archaeology has grown to become the most rapidly expanding field of archaeological research. Starting with a focus on North America, historical archaeology is now a global field that concentrates on the study of the emergence of the modern world and other complex societies. Drawing on a rich palette of interdisciplinary approaches, historical archaeology explores complex global processes such as colonization, industrialization, urbanization, and globalization. This course will focus on the methods employed by the field’s practitioners, the various contexts in which this work is conducted, and the theoretical underpinnings of the field as a whole.
