This course is designed to provide a thorough introduction to the diversity of cultures found in eastern North America from the initial Native American occupation to the early Euro American settlement using the unique perspective that archaeology provides. Students are exposed to cultures whose belief systems, methods of enculturation and socialization, and styles of living that are vastly different from their own. The course emphasizes the effect of culture, culture change, and cultural ethnogenesis on societies across time and space.
