2023/2024 Pseudoarchaeology - Elective Seminar in Prehistoric Archaeology

In this class, we will explore critical thinking, skepticism, requirements for evidence to support bold or radical ideas, and the negative consequences of pseudoscience. We will examine a range of archaeological – or pseudoarchaeological – case studies. These case studies will improve overall knowledge of world archaeology as well as providing examples to practice critical thinking and the identification of non-scientific interpretations in archaeology.
