About this course
An introduction to the discipline of archaeology and its contribution to the investigation of past human societies. Students will study the history of archaeology, its field methods and practice, and theoretical approaches, along with the contributions of other disciplines and scientific techniques in the interpretation of archaeological evidence. Emphasis will be placed on the relationship between archaeology and history as disciplines and methodologies, discussing how archaeologists interpret archaeological sites and artefacts as material culture, in combination with written documents, and how historians use archaeological evidence and publications in the reconstruction of the historical past.
