The goal of the course is to demonstrate the potential of archaeology, biological, and socio-cultural anthropology for the study of past populations. There is a substantial theoretical overlap among the disciplines and shared interest in addressing similar questions. Ethnographic data represent source of information for comparative studies that produce models that can be tested by methods of archaeology and biological anthropology. It is just the collaboration among the disciplines that allows us to answer questions concerning the life in the past. Students will be acquainted with European and American models of the relationship between archaeology and anthropology. The discussion about the historical background of both disciplines will continue via focus on conceptual framework, the role of analogies, models, formal analyses, and interpretation of results.

Podmínky absolovování kurzu:

a) Vypracování projektu

Projekt má za cíl vytvořit strukturovaný souhrn informací o vybrané lidské kultuře a jejích pohřebních zvyklostech. Cílem projektu je kriticky zhodnotit etnografické prameny a zjistit, které typy etnografických faktů mizí, jak jsou transformovány a na které je možné usuzovat z archeologických pramenů. Se specifickou strukturou projektu seznámí studenty přednášející na první přednášce. Rozsah projektu je dán strukturou a nelze jednoznačně specifikovat délku. Solidní práce se obvykle pohybují mezi 1000 až 3000 slov.
