Description: This course is designed to look at the archaeology of colonialism in two ways. On the one hand, we will analyze colonialism as a concept and discursive practice that has concrete effects on archaeological work. The goal is to understand how colonial processes contribute to the production of academic knowledge, historical archives, and archaeological facts. We will also take a critical look at how the legacy of colonialism continues to structure our relationship with descendant communities and other stakeholder groups we encounter during archaeological fieldwork. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ANTH 378 if student has credit for ANTH 578.
