Aims
• To introduce the concepts of mobility and migration, and gain an understanding of why it is essential to modern archaeology.
• To increase skills in critical thinking, reading, developing arguments, and communicating through writing and speaking.
• Students will learn to locate and utilize resources about interdisciplinary case studies that address socio-cultural questions.
Contents
Students will learn about theoretical and material-culture based approaches to mobility and migration, starting with key concepts, definitions and a history of research. The key methodologies of isotope and archaeogenetic research will be introduced and illuminated through case studies. The course conveyers’ own work, focusing on gendered migration in Bronze Age central Europe and ‘colonial’ migrations in the Iron Age Mediterranean will provide examples for discussion.
Method
The seminar will be a mix of teach-led presentations and discussions, guided reading and student presentations. The chronological and geographic scope will range from the Paleolithic in Eurasia to the Iron Age Mediterranean. The aim is to bridge science-based analysis with archaeological interpretations, integrating applied methods and social questions, and discussing the implications for our understanding of the past in a written research paper and oral presentation. During this process, students will learn the skills necessary for producing scientific presentations and research papers, including lecture presentation style, writing abstracts and outlines, and the parts of a scientific paper.
