ANT 1420 - Archaeology of the Anthropocene (3) [GenEd: SS]
When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Social Sciences Designation; Sustainability and Climate Literacy
This course uses archaeology to explore the deep history of human environment relations across the globe. Using multiple lines of material evidence spanning hundreds of thousands of years, we will interrogate the concept of the Anthropocene and explore when and how humans have left and continue to leave their mark on the planet. Specifically, we will trace human-environment relations from the origins of our genus and species and the spread of humans across the globe, through millennia of sustainable and unsustainable subsistence practices and related social formations, to the lessons we can infer from these histories to address contemporary issues related to environment and climate change.
