This course will examine the earliest civilizations from an archeological perspective. The focus will be the archeology of six “primary” civilizations in Sumeria, Egypt, China, theIndus Valley, highland and lowland Mesoamerica, and Peru. The course will emphasize how archeologists study these civilizations, including questions about how civilizations arose, how they differ from other types of ancient society, and what archeological remains tell us about their defining characteristics.
