This course provides students with a detailed introduction to archaeological approaches to the study of human society. Through case studies and key texts we will investigate how the archaeological record can generate detailed insights into the richness and diversity of past social life. Students exploring Past Lives will be exposed to a wide range of ideas and leave the course with the knowledge and freedom to choose how they want to approach the past and the tools to ask how past lives were like, or unlike, our own.
