Cíle předmětu
This course aims to highlight the basics of socio-economics and daily life of the Near East, particularly focusing over Anatolia as main research interest of the lecturer. Ethnography and ethno-archaeology can be considered as main interpretation tools of the archaeologists. How do we interpret daily life of the past from what we have unearthed today? How can we visualize the faces, age and the gender of the people whose houses we are digging up? What types of perishable materials were there besides the bricks, stone, bone, pottery and a few carbonized wood& seed? What kinds of techniques were available and what were other ways of doing things? How people are /were using plants, for what purposes? The similarities and differences of perceptions, beliefs and ways of uses will be overviewed with some presentations and class discussions.
