ARK-2020: Stone Age sites: from finds to interpretation Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
Intermediate course for BA in Archaeology. | Contents
Introduction to analyses and interpretation of settlement sites dominated by lithic artefacts. The course will provide insight to method and theory in order to allow the student to work independently with such data at MA-level.
The course will be based on material from northern sites dating from Early Stone Age to Early Metal Age. It will cover open sites as well as sites with house remains. The course aims to give a thorough introduction to a number of central analytical aspects concerning lithic material, such as knowledge of raw materials, technological choices and the most common artefacts, documentation of material, problems of classification, in addition to such central methods as distributional analyses, refitting, chaine operatoire, use-wear analysis, sourcing. These methods and topics will be presented in order to discuss their potential and limitation with regard to interpretation of various aspects of prehistoric societies. The course includes actual hands-on experience with data from excavated sites. | Form of teaching
