ANTHR 7272 - Historical Archaeology of Indigenous Peoples(crosslisted) (also AIS 7720 , AMST 6272 , ARKEO 7272 ) Spring. 4 credits.
Co-meets with AIS 4720 /AMST 4272 /ANTHR 4272 /ARKEO 4272 .
K. Jordan.
This seminar uses archaeology to examine the responses of nonstate indigenous peoples across the world to European expansion and colonialism over the past 500 years. Archaeology provides a perspective on indigenous lives that both supplements and challenges document-based histories. We will assess the strengths and weaknesses of various theories of culture contact, and explore a series of archaeological case studies, using examples primarily from North America with lesser emphasis on Africa and the Pacific. The seminar provides a comparative perspective on indigenous-colonial relationships, in particular exploring the hard-fought spaces of relative autonomy created and sustained by indigenous peoples.
