Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is designed as “Ringvorlesung”, meaning that 11 different speakers per semester will introduce aspects of their special fields (11 other speakers will talk in summer semester). All topics have in common that they are important in the context of human evolution and archaeological science, as it is realized in our research network HEAS. We target this course to all interested students from all branches of study to induce thinking across borders and interdisciplinary work. The winter semester course will include Human Evolution, Virtual Anthropology, Radiometric Dating, Geoarchaeology, Micro-Archaeology, Behaviour Genetics, Evol. Demography, Human Ecology, Paleogenetics, Human Life History, Osteology, Archaeology, Metal Technologies, Palaeontology, Palaeodiversity, Archaeological Prospection, and Digital Archaeology. The course is a lecture designed as front-of-class teaching.
