ARCH20200 - Stone Age & Megalithic Europe (Credit) - 2017

Drawing on the latest archaeological and scientific research this module provides an introduction to the archaeology of Northwestern Europe from the Last Glacial Maximum (c 20,000 years ago) through to the end of the Neolithic period (c 2,500 BC). Focusing on Ireland set in its European context, this module will examine: movement, migration and exchange; myth and monumentality; material worlds of technology and subsistence. Regional case studies will be used to integrate these themes. Running throughout the module will be a consideration of the significance of the adoption of agriculture (the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition) in European prehistory and the later development of societies in this region. The module includes a fieldtrip to key Irish archaeological landscapes.
