See CRICOS-registered alternativesTo learn about archaeological discoveries is to understand the human story and unravel the material history of our world. This subject shows how the past is reconstructed by taking you on a world-wide survey of important archaeological finds. It provides valuable insights into the connection between material traces and past human behaviour, as illustrated by famous excavations at sites in Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and Australia. You will examine diverse types of archaeological information - from the ordinary to the astonishing - including hominin and human remains, megaliths and middens, engraved and flaked stones, and painted caves and temples. You will also explore each case study against larger themes in human history, such as human evolution, plant and animal domestication, the emergence of socio-economic complexity, trade, migration, industrialisation and colonialism.
