Archaeology of Native North America.

Catalog description

This course takes a topical approach to the early human cultures of North America (~13,500-1,000 years ago), covering subjects from Ice Age peoples to early horticultural societies, and from the significance of grand cultural landscapes to the development of centralized political institutions. It addresses concerns of descendant communities regarding cultural heritage and applies a decolonizing perspective to archaeological practice and the archaeological record of early North America.
