ANTH 50.60 The Archaeology of Native American Sports and Games

Sports and games intersect with many other aspects of our lives and can play critical roles in training for war, social hierarchies, food production, rituals, burial rites, and so much more. In this class, you will learn about the archaeology of Native American sports and games in North America. We will explore a wide array of them alongside the social roles they played. We will also play some modern versions. By the end of the class, you will understand the critical nature of sports and gaming in the past as well as the ways ancestral Native American sports and games persist today.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
