ANT 335 - Experimental Archaeology
3 Credits
This course explores the role of imitative experiments in
contemporary archaeology. These experiments bring the past to life
by replicating ancient technology and site formation processes and
provide a valuable supplement to more conventional methods of data
recovery and analysis. Examples include making and testing the
operation of replicas of Neolithic stone axes, Upper Palaeolithic
lamps and ancient Mesoamerican pottery kilns, transporting heavy
objects such as Easter Island statues and reconstructing Iron Age
houses and farms.
Prerequisite: Junior standing or higher and nine hours of social
or behavioral sciences.
When Offered: Spring, Summer
Catalog Year: 2008-2009
