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.
