Comments
As normally practiced, archaeology tends to be a predominantly visually oriented discipline. Whether we think of excavations, surveys, remote sensing, excavation documentation and publications, or exhibitions, nearly all of the steps of archaeological work depend on the sense of sight. Yet, when we reflect on how we perceive the world today, it is clear that hearing, smell, touch, and taste all play significant roles. Moreover, our typical archaeological focus on the visual often ignores important elements such as color and luster. In this course, we will examine some of the ways in which archaeologists have begun to explore the sensual worlds of the past and reflect on whether and, if so, how this approach enriches our narratives of the past. close
