Offer 2 with catalog number 1020911BER for all students in the 2nd semester at a (B) Bachelor - advanced level.
The course will develop and provide insight in the archaeology of the Low Countries from the Roman until the Early post-Medieval period. A global overview of the chronology will be provided, whereby per period, an important theme will be covered. It is not possible to cover all the important events per period, so the lectures will serve as an introduction, sparking the interest of the student. The most important economic and political events will be discussed, as well as important sites within Belgium and the Netherlands, and the attributed material culture will be discussed.
The first lecture will with the Roman towards the Early post-Medieval period. Important topics will be covered, including the Great Migration in the Early Medieval period, Christianization, long distance trade, funerary practices throughout the ages, the formation of cities, and we will touch upon a special direction within archaeology, which is Second World War Archaeology. In total, there will be 8 lectures by the lecturer. In the remaining 5 classes, a group of students will present a topic that is not covered in any of the lectures. This will be a great opportunity to choose a topic that bridges Art Sciences and Archaeology and to give room to creativity. Each group of students chooses a paper that covers the topic of the presentation, which will be discussed afterwards. The other groups of students will provide a discussion topic about the presented topic. A final essay will be required covering the presented theme, the recommended paper, and the discussion. The essay should be at least 1000, but no more than 1500 words excl. references.
