Course Objectives
Course Content
This course examines the contribution of environmental evidence to archaeological debates in a broader view. It takes examples of major archaeologically visible events and social- economical formations (such as Neolithisation, Urbanisation, Collapse of Cultures, Trade, Social Stratification, Rituals) and looks at the information that can be introduced to the archaeological enquiry by animal/plant data. The course is not period centered; in contrast, it aims to present environmental approaches in wider archaeological problems which are then generic and can be applied to various contexts and dates according to the interest of student.
