Cíle předmětu
Although radical changes in the life-circumstances have occurred in SW-Asia in the recent decades, the excavator staying in or near villages is still to some extend ‘immersed’ in the use of some of the more traditional techniques, the local exploitation of raw materials and specific spatial patterns that are influenced by production, use and the final disposal of domestic products. Hardly any scientific contributions by field excavators will be found, therefore, that do not in one way or another contain allusions to rural or small-town life and some of the ‘older crafts’. The course serves as introduction to ethnoarchaeology as a method of research.
Výstupy z učení
The student will get an understanding of the components of an ethnoarchaeology that yields representative results.
Osnova
  • PART I ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL THEORY (Maximilian Wilding, MU): Via a detailed study of the first chapters of N. David & C. Kramer’s milestone ‘Ethnoarchaeology in Action’ of 2001 the student will get insights in the principle, possibilities and limits of ethnoarchaeology. Part II ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL PRACTICE (Füsun Ertuğ, independant researcher, Turkey; https://wustl.academia.edu/FüsunERTUG): PLANTS in archaeological context (ethno-archaeo-botanical focus) a) Methodological tools of ethnobotany, ethnology, archaeobotany b) Plants for Food & Feed: What do we eat and what do we find in the archaeological contexts? Food preparation, cooking, and storage: tools & techniques. What do we feed to animals, and what do we find in barns, yards, pens, sheds, and kraals? Dung studies, heating, firing etc. c) Medicine & Health & Healing: How do we keep ourselves healthy? Methods of healing etc. What do we find in prehistoric contexts related to medicine-health-healing? d) Tools & Materials (incl. shelter-housing-furniture-art). Wooden tools, plants for dying, fiber plants, textiles-clothing, baskets, mats etc. GENDER Roles in archaeological context (gender focus) a) Considering, thinking, imagining faces & sexes: Besides burials, skeletons where and how do we consider gender? b) Division of labor c) Space division/ ownership / possessions
