World Archaeology - AHIS191
This unit explores the human past from prehistoric times up to the present. Students will examine a range of archaeological material from Africa, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Western Europe, Central and South America, as well as Southeastern Asia and the Australasian area. By exploring a variety of ancient cultures, students will observe the interdisciplinary approach that contemporary archaeology utilises when facing broader questions such as the origin of the human species, its evolution and it interaction with the natural environment until the emergence of complex societies and then the blooming and diversity of historical societies. The unit will provide a broad knowledge and understanding of past societies, introducing methodology and theoretical issues when necessary.
