Anthro 479: Climate, Culture, and Human History
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Using a seminar format, this course examines the temporal, geographical, and environmental aspects of past climate changes, and by using specific examples, explores how climate changes may have affected the evolution of human culture and the course of human history. Archaeological and historical examples from the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Near East are used to explore if or how significant events in human history have been influenced by changes in climate.

Anthro 4791: Archaeological Study of Social Complexity
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
A hallmark of anthropological theory is the idea that human societies evolve toward greater complexity or higher levels of organization through time. Yet accurately defining complexity or organization is such a difficult and frustrating undertaking that many people give up and fall back on an intuitive understanding, similar to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's famous definition of pornography: "I know it when I see it." But what exactly does it mean to be socially complex? How does complexity in human societies emerge and how is it perpetuated? How can we infer social complexity from the archaeological record? In this seminar we examine theoretical and methodological aspects of social complexity as investigated by archaeologists. By means of case studies drawn from around the globe and ranging from the earliest humans to the recent past, we seek to define, describe, and understand the concept of social complexity and its manifestations in diverse societies at different times.

Anthro 4792: The Many Paths Leading Toward the Creation of the Ancient City
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The purpose of this class is to examine the emergence of the Ancient City across the globe. We want to begin with the concepts of urbanism, city, and metropolis. These are words whose derivation are to be found in the classical languages of the Mediterranean. Is there any means to reach an understanding of how other civilizations and societies characterized these special places on the landscape? In the past, many scholars have argued that market economies and state-level societies are essential to their existence. Such arguments reflect issues of sustainability in terms of the economy and the effective control of large populations through state-level institutions. While we want to understand the role of the economy and the level(s) of political integration involved in the process of urbanism, are there other cultural institutions such as religion that play a much larger and more significant role? Do these places reflect the "citizens" perception of the cosmos?

Anthro 4802: Theories and Practice of Landscape Archaeology
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The study of "landscapes" as a particular framework for understanding the archaeological record has become increasingly widespread in the discipline today. Yet the theoretical background for defining landscapes is commonly disconnected with the actual practical application of "landscape archaeology." What exactly do we mean by landscape archaeology, what is its utility, and how do contemporary methods of analysis and interpretation change the way we consider archaeology through this conceptual paradigm? This course explores the theoretical basis and current archaeological approaches to "landscape" and address its distinction to, and overlap with, other prevalent concepts such as environment, ecology, place, and space. The course also places focus on concrete methodological and practical approaches that differentiate "landscape archaeology" from other approaches-as well as illustrate their points of convergence.

A focus is placed on the relationship between natural environments, cultural geography, and the mapping of archaeological landscapes, and on the archaeologist's ability to accurately recover, reconstruct, and analyze this relationship in a virtual environment.
