This course offers a brief overview of the social and cultural history of the prehistoric and pro to-historic periods of the Middle East. We will examine the principal research questions that have guided archaeological work in the region and how archaeologists and other scholars have attempted to answer them. In addition to the archaeological evidence, we will consider the relationship between the study of the past and the implications that it carries in the present.
