The course contains two parts. Different approaches and methods of the cognitive archaeology will be discussed in the theoretical part. The second shows samples from the Neolithic period (approximately 8th/7th millennium BCE) to the Greek/Roman Period (approximately 2nd/3rd century AD) and includes ethnographical/historical samples.
