Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Quiet often the popular fascination with prehistoric times and prehistoric science lies on a different level than professional archaeology would wish for. Popular images not in accordance with the scientific dogma and/or reality abound (e.g. Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, Modern Druidism, ...). How did they come into existence? What lies beyond those images? How do we deal with them?
