View Academic Calendar
This course is a worldwide survey of prehistoric cultural adaptations from the first use of bone and stone tools to the ancient mysterious civilizations of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, including recent archaeological discoveries. Emphasis is on the development of technologies, social groups, and the patterns of cultural development. Archeological excavation methods and archeological artifacts are discussed in considerable detail. In the second half of this course the student will engage in a “virtual dig” of a Middle Paleolithic site in France, using a workbook and a CD-Rom.
