Class Description:
In this course we will explore the theories and methods of historical archaeology. In particular we will consider what it is that distinguished historical archaeology from the broader discipline, and how those differences are parlayed into specific research strengths. This includes several themes: colonialism; the modern world and globalizing economies; social identities (race and ethnicity, class, sex and gender, religion, age); social memory and commemoration; landscapes and social space; citizenship and subjectivity. Although historical archaeology until recently has been restrictively defined as addressing the European-colonized New World, the discipline in the past ten years has significantly broadened its scope and impact on the practice of archaeology as a whole. Throughout the course we will discuss these developments, and what directions archaeology may take in the future as a result. Course work includes both reading/discussion and learning methods through practical exercises.
