Course Overview
The world is faced with multiple challenges such as hunger, global warming, and safe cities. How can archaeology enable us to learn from the past to understand these challenges better and think about possible solutions? By using an experiential learning approach, students will quickly think and act like archaeologists, by bringing to light new knowledge as the instructor introduces the underlying theory and concepts.
