HNAK00031U The Archaeology of Death
BA tilvalgs-studieordning i Arkæologiske Videnskaber, 2007
Master's Programmes in Ancient and Medieval Near Eastern Studies, 2008
Archaeologists often feel that they are particularly close to the past when they are dealing with the dead. This course explores the many ways in which the dead can be disposed of, thought about, and made meaningful both in the past and the present. Taking an explicitly theoretical approach, themes such as sacrifice, corporeality, emotion and commemoration are examined via the material remains of death. Examples are primarily drawn from Egypt and Sudan, but the development of archaeologies of death are situated within a broader historical and geographical context.
