ADAH 352 - NATIVE AMERICAN ART & ARCHAEOLOGY

Credits: Three
This course surveys the art and architecture of the native cultures of the Americas. The material introduced covers a broad geographic and chronological span that begins approximately 30,000 years ago and extends to the current era. Students will explore the cultures and archaeological remains of indigenous populations of North America including those of the Northwest Pacific coast, the Plains, the Southwest, and the mound building cultures of the eastern United States. Students will also explore the indigenous cultures of South America, including the Moche and Inca (Mesoamerican cultures (Olmec, Aztec, Maya) are examined in ADAH 351). Particular focus will be placed on the Native American center of Cahokia, located just east of St. Louis. Readings and museum visits supplement slide lectures and provide a point of departure for in-class discussion.
