Description:

ARCH 10020 Out of the Distant Past: The Prehistoric World at UCD;This module provides an introduction to the archaeology of the prehistoric world. It examines the evolution of early hominds and their dispersal from Africa; the cave art of the Ice Age Europe; and the hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic, the period of the first human settlement of Ireland. The subsequent Neolithic period is when farming societies became established in Europe and monumental tombs for the dead, such as Newgrange, were constructed. During the Bronze Age, the invention of metalworking resulted in the development of chiefly societies. Students are introduced to this material and to some of the ways it has been interpreted by archaeologists.
