Cíle předmětu
The course is designed to present the current data about Palaeolithic evidences in Near East and Europe and to show how multidisciplinary analysis of stone industry techniques can be used to understand and interpret past human activities within theoretical frames. Students will learn how to analyse knapped stone tools and how to relate knapped stone tools to socio-economic phenomena. They will also become familiar with the present understanding of the evolution of Palaeolithic cultures in the Near East and in the Mediterranean regions. The course will be organized in topics and will be given in English.
