COURSE CONTENT:

            This course provides a basic survey of the prehistory of civilizations in the Central Andean Region of South America (the highland and coastal areas that today are part of Peru and Bolivia).  Emphasis will be placed on the following cultures and periods: the Preceramic, Chavin, Paracas, Pukara, Moche, Nazca, Wari, Tiwanaku, Chimu, and Inca. Topics include the history of South American archaeology, peopling of the continent, origins and evolution of agriculture, early village life, ceremonial and domestic architecture, prehistoric art and symbolism, Andean cosmology and astronomy, indigenous technology, the historical ecology of landscapes, outside contacts and relationships, economics and trade, social and political structure, state formation and urbanism, and early contacts with Europeans. The focus will be on the recent archaeological investigations and interpretations combined with appropriate analogy from ethnohistory and ethnography. The prehistory of the Amazonian lowlands and "the intermediate area" of northern South America will not be presented in this course (These topics are covered in Anthropology 224: Archaeology of the Neotropics).

 

            Classes will consist of lectures, with occasional discussion sections. Slides will be used to illustrate concepts and sites presented in lecture and several films and/or videos will also be shown as supplementary material.  I will also make use of artifacts from the extensive South American collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.  Grading is based on 2 exams and class participation in discussions of readings. 

PREREQUISITES:

                        Because this is a 400‑level course for undergraduates and graduate students, a basic understanding of anthropological concepts and terms, especially those of socio‑cultural anthropology and archaeology, is required. All readings will be in English and knowledge of Spanish is not necessary (although reading ability in Spanish may be useful for outside readings).

REQUIRED READINGS:

            There are many reading assignments for this course. The required textbooks are Moseley, Burger, and a "bulk pack reader."  The bulk pack reader has been assembled for this course that includes a number of important articles on Andean Archaeology (available for purchase at the Copy Center, Towne Building [Engineering], 220 South 33rd Street). Weekly reading assignments will come from the texts and the bulk pack reader. At times during the semester, new materials may be added to the readings (downloadable from the course web site or placed on Library Reserve). A reading syllabus will be provided and may be periodically updated throughout the semester.

GRADING:

            Grades will be based on 2 exams (a 2 hour midterm and a 2 hour final) of equal weight and participation in discussion of the readings. The student will be responsible for material presented in the lecture, readings, slide presentations, tours of the collections, and films/videos. 

 

            The exams will be primarily long and short essay questions, with some brief identifications and definitions and map identifications.  The final exam will not be cumulative, that is, it will only cover material presented after the midterm exam, although you will have to be familiar with the concepts and terminology presented earlier in the semester.  There will be an in‑class short review/questions session before each exam if necessary.  Please note that the Midterm Exam is on Monday, November 1 (in class; 2:00-5:00 pm) and the Final Exam is on Friday, December 14, 2001 (8:30-10:30am in room 329 Museum).

 

     Class attendance is highly recommended since the course only meets once weekly.  Makeup exams will only be given in extreme cases.

     I will be available during office hours, Fridays 2:00 - 4:00pm, if you have any questions regarding the course material, or archaeology in general.  I also would appreciate your comments, and will be happy to make appointments for other times if my office hours conflict with your schedule.  I regularly read and answer E-mail.
