ARCHLGY 239: The Aegean in the Neolithic and Bronze Age (ANTHRO 115A, ANTHRO 215A, ARCHLGY 139)

This course provides a survey of Aegean prehistory (7th-2nd millennium BC), focusing on traditions that were picked up or renegotiated, instead of taking a standpoint that evaluates phenomena as steps leading up to a `state-like¿ `palatial¿ society. It will draw on the region¿s wealth of data, and will be set within a theoretically informed, problem-oriented framework, aiming to introduce students to current interpretations and debates, mainly through discussion of specific case-studies.

ARCHLGY 240: Post-Socialist Heritages: memorialisation, past mastering and nostalgia in Eurasia (ARCHLGY 140, REES 240)

The post-Soviet story is far from resolved! While national identities and geopolitical alliances are being (re)negotiated across Eurasia, unresolved atrocities continue to reopen old wounds. Within this process the past is skillfully embraced to support and sustain conflicting political discourses. Drawing on a variety of highly topical case studies this course will explore the main dynamics and historically entrenched structures that define how the past plays out in the present since the disintegration of the Soviet Empire.

ARCHLGY 241: Heritage and The State: Nationalism, Indigeneity, and Neoliberalism (ARCHLGY 141)

Today, however, we live in an age where neoliberalism and transnationalism is challenging well-known modes of national sovereignty and citizenship. This course will investigate the changing nature of statecraft in the globalized 21st century. Spotlighting the state¿s specific application and reinvention of technologies such as cultural policy, heritage management and historiography.

ARCHLGY 248: Ceramic Analysis for Archaeologists (ARCHLGY 148)

The analysis and interpretation of ceramic remains allow archaeologists to accomplish varied ends: establish a time scale, document interconnections between different areas, and suggest what activities were carried out at particular sites. The techniques and theories used to bridge the gap between the recovery of ceramics and their interpretation within archaeological contexts is the focus of this seminar.

ARCHLGY 270: Heritage Ecologies: Heritage, Culture, and the Environment

Conceptual and theoretical approaches to examine cultural and natural heritage from an interdisciplinary perspective. We ask: What are heritage ecologies? How are natural and cultural heritages interpreted, managed, and defined? Do heritage managers privilege nature and conservation over cultural heritage? This course uses archaeological data, ethnographic methods, archival analysis, and guest lectures to examine case studies representing key issues including conservation, indigenous rights, cultural landscapes, heritage in conflict, international heritage policy, and the use of expert knowledge in heritage contexts.

ARCHLGY 319: Archaeological Theory: Graeco-Roman Antiquity

The ways that archaeology is a medium of understanding Classical antiquity. We will selectively and deeply review themes in archaeological theory as they inform the academic study of Graeco-Roman antiquity. The aim is not to acquire comprehensive coverage of contemporary archaeological theory, but to focus on concepts, methodologies and practices that have a strong connection with agendas in contemporary Classics, and to explore interdisciplinary links through social and cultural theory and critique, performance studies, science studies (including the history and sociology of technology), design studies and approaches to material culture.
