Introductory Course
WiSe 20/21: Archaeology of the Netherlands
Maaike Groot
Comments
During the excursion, we will visit archaeological sites and museums. The itinerary will depend on the availability of Dutch colleagues and opening times of museums. Possibilities include a Neolithic flint mine, megalithic monuments (Neolithic passage graves), Bronze Age grave mounds, Celtic fields, the Roman limes, a Roman bathhouse and Roman villa. We will also try to visit an archaeological excavation. In the seminar accompanying the excursion, we will start with Late Pleistocene habitation and Mesolithic hunter/gatherers and then move on to early farmers. We will cover prehistoric burial rites, settlements and agricultural systems. With the Romans came the first urbanisation and the first large-scale agrarian businesses. Finally, the modern archaeological system in the Netherlands will be discussed. Students participating in this course will choose a topic based on their own interest, determining the programme of the seminar. close
