This course will outline the development of native cultures in North America from the end of the last ice age (c. 15,000 BP) up to the time of European contact (c. A.D. 1500). Emphasis will be placed on the variability of cultural expression in each region and the historical continuity between the archaeological record and modern Native Americans. Topics include the peopling of the New World, the development of early foraging societies in the Far West and Far North, the origins of agriculture and village life, and the emergence of politically complex societies in the Southwest and Eastern Woodlands. Students will be evaluated on the basis of a) two take-home essay exams and b) a 10-15 page research paper on a topic of the student's choosing, in consultation with the instructor.
