Cultural biography of landscapes WS-AR-CB
The principal objective of the course is to make the students familiar with recent orientation of archaeology to the cognition of settlement processes in prehistory and early history and their relationship to how space had been changed in terms of natural and social/cultural processes and how these processes transformed space into (human, cultural) landscape. Students are informed about how the phenomenon of space and landscape has recently has become one of the most frequent themes of projects in many disciplines, such as natural science, anthropology, archaeology, history, and also philosophy and art and why multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon is the most appropriate way to its study and understanding. The course is also bringing an overview of how archaeology, in individual phases of its development since culture-historical concepts down to postmodern paradigm, understood the meaning of space in archaeological analyses. A special attention is also dedicated to most significant sub-disciplines contributing to the reconstruction of prehistoric, early historic and medieval/postmedieval landscape and settlement, such as historical geography, palaeoecology, environmental archaeology including archaeobotanics and pollen studies, climatology, etc. Integral part of the course are also lectures on space - landscape evolution during individual epochs of human past (the Paleolithic, Neolithic-Eneolithic, metal periods, early history, Middle Ages, Postmedieval and Modern periods).
