Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this seminar we will be concerned with the identification of evidence (mainly by archaeological methods) for the emergence of social complexity in late prehistoric (mainly late Bronze and Iron Age), roman and protohistoric (mainly Dark Age and Early Mediaeval) ‘Celtic’ societies and the socio-cultural interpretation of these societies. Particular attention will be paid to the identification of social practices, mechanisms and institutions based on archaeological finds and features and to socio-cultural interpretation strategies based on modern agency, complex interaction and actor-network theories.

Assessment and permitted materials

Attendance and participation, c. 30-minute presentation on a topic from the list available from the course convener.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Based on the examination of late prehistoric and early historic ‘celtic’ Europe, this module provides students with a detailed understanding of social and cultural processes of change in pre-modern societies. Students will gain knowledge of the archaeology (aim 1), history (aim 2) and linguistic evidence of ‘Celtic’ Europe in the period between c.1200 BC-AD 1200 (aim 3). They will also gain a general and detailed understanding of historically individual (aim 4) and self-similar communal (-law-like) processes (aim 5). In addition, they will acquire the fundamentals of social and cultural modelling in Celtic Studies (aim 6) and the epistemological foundations for interdisciplinary research in Celtic Cultural Studies (aim 7). Transferable skills taught through this module are the ability for critical assessment of evidence (aim 8), the ability to formulate complex arguments (aim 9) and the ability for academic discussion (aim 10).
