Teacher	DI NOCERA Gian Maria (syllabus) Title: Outlines of prehistory and research methodology. The module is divided into two parts. In the first part of the course methodological issues are addressed. A short history of the studies will be followed by themes that aim to provide a critical reading of archaeological sources. Then we will discuss topics on the social organization systems of pre-protohistoric societies through ethno-anthropological points of view and we will introduce topics on the ancient systems of economic exchange. The fundamental stages of man will also be illustrated: his physical evolution, the introduction of the productive economy, the urbanization process, the role of technology and the birth of religion. The slides of the individual lessons in pdf format will be sent periodically by the teacher to the attending students only. Students who cannot attend classes are invited to contact the teacher for an interview on the exam schedule and to receive information on the exam texts. (reference books) Indication on the exam texts will be provided by the teacher on the first day of class. HISTORY OF STUDIES DANIEL G., RENFREW 1988 – The idea of Prehistory, Edinburgh University.
