- Cíle předmětu
- The aim of the lecture is to provide students of Near East archaeology with an ethnographic baseline for the core region, commonly called ‚Mesopotamia‘. The presentation stresses -at one time - the great diversity of natural and social landscapes in the area as well as such themes which are encountered throughout the entire realm. Focused on a comprehensive presentation, the lecture should serve two practical purposes: 1. By this ‚rough guide‘ to the local cultures in between Euphrates and Tigris, the student should get a feel for which examples he may take for ethno-archaeological comparision, and which ones s/he should handle with caution, because they barely rest on formal similarities (but are ultimately linked to incompatible cultural ‚backgrounds‘). 2. To perceive what are the matters-of-interest for communities s/he enters, and the persons s/he works and lives with on a daily basis, whilst performing as an excavator in the Near East.
