Archaeology and Social Anthropology

Pre-requisites: For archaeology students; to have passes core subject Introduction to Studying Archaeology.

Course objectives: Introducing students to the history of ideas and the basic theoretical concepts of socio-cultural anthropology, without which it would be impossible to understand the modern archaeological theory and practice.

Course description: The elective course Archaeology and Social Anthropology is conceived as a general comparative study of otherwise similar disciplines: socio-cultural anthropology and archaeology, this course is also a continuation and an addition to the core subject Introduction to Studying Archaeology. The emphasis is on socio-cultural anthropology, because most of the general archaeological subject matter is covered in the course Introduction to Studying Archaeology. Socio-cultural anthropology will not be studied integrally; rather the connection of this discipline with archaeology and their mutual permeation will be emphasized. This is why more attention will be given to the importance of different anthropological schools of thought. Archaeology and social-anthropology used to have a common beginning only to later be separated due to differing theoretical concepts, then after that to reconnect again, finally in the beginning of the 21 century they were both faced with similar questions and problems.
