Academic Year 2024/2025
This module provides an advanced introduction to key themes in the archaeology of hunter-gatherers and the use of the eHRAF comparative databases on hunter-gatherers. By key themes is meant characteristics of the ways that hunter-gatherers lived and dominant archaeological approaches to those lifestyles. The emphasis throughout is on the remarkable diversity of hunter-gatherer communities with case studies drawn from across the globe and the Palaeolithic to the present. The module is taught by a combination of short lectures (including invited speakers) and extended discussion groups, providing students with the opportunity to develop their own understandings of key issues and debates.
