HNAB0101FU NÆR, Tilgange til arkæologi (F20)

The course is based on the historical and archaeological overview students have gained in the first semesters and builds on it. The understanding of the archaeology and history will be widened in the course. The course treats approaches to questions such as political organisation, gender studies, landscape archaeology, pottery analysis, art and propaganda etc, and is arranged thematically, however, the students can focus on either Near Eastern or Egyptian/North African Archaeology. The basic knowledge will be taught in lectures, but the students will prepare for each class to discuss and present the more detailed information 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.
