ARCH-216 Everyday Archaeology: Daily life in the past and present
The activities and experiences that make up our routines often seem mundane and even insignificant. However, choices we make and strategies we develop through the course of our daily lives are connected with larger systems and structures that make up our societies. This class explores how daily life has been integral to episodes of sociopolitical change in the ancient and more recent past. We will explore global case studies from archaeological studies of daily life in the past and present including the first villages, early urbanism, and historic plantations, and contemporary houses.
