- Cíle předmětu
- The aim of the lecture is to provide students of Near East archaeology with an ‘ethnographic baseline’ for the core region, commonly called ‚Mesopotamia‘. The presentation stresses - at one time - the great diversity of natural and social landscapes in the area as well as such themes which are encountered throughout the entire realm. The lecture serves two purposes: (1) present ‘source cultures’ for an ethnoarchaeological comparison (David & Kramer 2003) and 2. To help the future prehistorian to perceive the matters-of-interest of the persons s/he works and lives with on a daily basis whilst performing as an excavator in the SW-Asia.

- Výukové metody
- Teaching technique: direct-reflexive teacher/student dialogue. In the course the students will be trained to recognize inter-relations beyond the isolated ethnographic fact. In-class discussions will be favoured to develop the skill to approach ethnological issues with proper terminology. At intervals certain ‘teaching mile stones’ will be entrenched by students’ own presentations. Extra-focus on the analysis of visual materials (paintings, photos, film etc.). ssions will be favoured to develop the skill to approach ethnological issues with proper terminology. At least once a presentation of the results of an autonomous enquiry related to topics mentioned in the lectures is expected (student’s formal contribution).
- Metody hodnocení
