This introductory survey of world archeology focuses on the recent digs, discoveries, and explorations that capture the excitement of finding lost windows into ancient civilizations. Topics will include the various Neolithic archeological sides, the Rosetta Stone, Troy, the Dead Sea Scrolls, a fortress-temple in Peru, Knossos, a mountain rock art at Saimaluu Tash, and a Roman fort in Jordan. Also, we will learn about the loss of ancient civilizations, the collapse of ruling classes, and the disappearance of more recent communities. This course offers compelling stories of abandoned places, significant events, and fascinating characters that all offer important lessons we can learn from today. Furthermore, this course departs from traditional European and nation-centered perspectives and instead focuses on how world archeology relies on the diversity of various peoples and their cultures and how these peoples and their various racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds shaped the global order. Weekly Schedule: Lesson 1: the Rosetta Stone Lesson 2: Troy Lesson 3: the Nineveh's Assyrian Library Lesson 4: King Tut's Tomb Lesson 5: Knossos Lesson 6: Saimaluu Tash and Santorini and Akrotiri Lesson 7: Qasr Bshir Lesson 8: Machu Picchu Lesson 9: Pompeii Lesson 10: the Dead Sea Scrolls Lesson 11: Thera Lesson 12: Olduvai Gorge Lesson 13: North Bersted Lesson 14: the Terracotta Army Lesson 15: the Cave of Altamira Lesson 16: Easter Island Moai (or a topic based on students' interests)
Metas de aprendizaje
The class has two main goals. One is to provide you with a basic factual understanding of the political, military, economic, cultural, and technological development of the past via archeological discoveries and exploration. Just as important, however, is the ability to use this information productively. Thus, this class will also stress the ability to integrate the mass of factual data into some basic understanding of history. In addition, the discussions are designed to develop the ability to think critically. Rote memorization is not as important as the ability to produce and evaluate arguments based on historical evidence. Please do not forget that the most effective learning occurs when you are actively involved.

Fuentes
There are many sources that are used for teaching world archeology in this course. Dr. Brezina studied various primary and secondary sources (articles, book, dissertations, etc.) during his years as a teacher and professor of history that will allow him to interpret the archeological digs and discoveries objectively and address the full range of a variety of peoples' histories, including marginalized populations such as the people of the Indus Valley, Peru, Ireland, and Kyrgyzstan. For example, Dr. Brezina will draw from two books, Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History by Patrick Hunt and Archeology Essentials by Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn, both of which are commonly used as objective and multi-cultural history textbooks in U.S. higher education. Also, for the newest archeological discoveries, Dr. Brezina will use various peer-reviewed archeological journals. (However, Dr. Brezina does not require students to purchase or use these books and journals.)
