Course objectives

The main topic of the subject is presentation of probable eeconstructions of life of hunter-gatherer communities in Palaeolithic based on archaeological sources, ethnographical parallels, experiments and survival principles. Besides archaeological finds are presented also methodological approaches, as well as hypotheses that have not been tested yet. The main aim of the course is to open a discussion about the possibilities we have in creating syntheses, especially on the meaningful use of interdisciplinary analyzes.
