ANTH 8 The Rise and Fall of Prehistoric Civilizations
One of the most intriguing questions in the study of human societies is the origins of cities and states or the transformation from small kinship-based societies to large societies that are internally differentiated on the basis of wealth, political power, and economic specialization. This course examines the explanations proposed by archaeologists for the development of the first cities and state societies through a comparative study of early civilizations in the Old World and the Americas.
