ANTH 321 Historical Archaeology
This course addresses themes and methods in the archaeology of the modern world (1500 to the present). How did exploration influence the way that people and material objects traveled across the world? How did English, Dutch, French, and Spanish colonial settlements reshape "new" worlds? We will also explore cultural transformations among American Indian and African communities that resulted from colonialism and the slave trade, and how capitalism and industrialization transformed the way that people consume material culture. The course will involve hands-on training in the analysis of archival documents and archaeological artifacts.
