ANTH 2533 - ANCIENT STATES IN THE NEW WORLD

Minimum 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 pre-Hispanic 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.
