ANTH 1543 - ANCIENT STATES IN THE NEW WORLDMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 Drawing on the fact that the ancient new world was a dazzling treasure house of non-Western political thought and organization, this course uses archaeology and ethnohistory to document and make comparative sense of the rich variety of political arrangements which existed among prehispanic states in MesoAmerica and Andean South America. A special aim is to understand how Amer-Indian concepts about state craft and rulership mesh with anthropological and other theories about ancient states.
