Expanded Course Description
| The primary aims of this class are archaeological exploration of the prehistoric colonization of the Pacific islands and examination of cultural patterns of adaptation to island life. Changing Pacific Island cultures are examined from the time of the earliest human settlement through the stages of complex society existing at the time of early Western contact. The area of SE Asia and the Southwest Pacific provides an early cultural foundation, and out of this, a broad, later dispersal pattern of eastern Pacific islands settlement follows. A regional frame-work will be formulated for discussing the migrations and cultural adaptations made by peoples moving into the Pacific and for clarifying their relationship to complex cultures in mainland Asia.
Cultural resource management, ethnology, linguistics, oral history, are all possible areas of study related to cultural history and conceptions held by islanders and by researchers/scholars of the human past in the Pacific Islands. Of interest is the use of culture history developed by archaeologists to reconstruct "ethnic history," and this includes questions related to cultural conservation and cultural identity. Connections between archaeologically known cultures and historic to modern period island peoples will be explored. Note: this class may be used to satisfy anthropology prehistory/archaeology major requirements.
