ANTH 106 - Great Discoveries in Archaeology

Institution:

Bellevue College

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

Previously ANTH 104 Covers how ancient remains are recovered, the politics of 'discovering' such remains, andwhat these remains mean within a scientific framework. A critical evaluation of world famous sites (such as the cave paintings at Lascaux, Old Kingdom Egyptian Pyramids, Great Zimbabwe, Machu Picchu, Classic Maya site of Copán, Ozette in Washington state, and more) highlights key factors, such as racism and sexism, that influence interpretation of the past. An awareness of legal responsibilities facing world citizens and their collective past will be increased. A large visual component will illustrate salient points of the course.
