Learning objectives
The course is aimed at preparing the students on the general topics on the cultural and economic evolution of human societies from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic, continuing through the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages to Romanization. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between humans and the environment, both in reference to the main climatic and ecological variations of the Pleistocene, and to the changes induced by human societies on the environment during the Holocene. Another underlying theme will be the study of the formation of social complexity in human organizations, most evident in the Metal Ages. As far as Palaeolithic and Neolithic are concerned, the geographic contexts are the African and the South-western Asiatic continents, but above all Europe, due to the dramatic geographic, climatic and bio-cultural changes which mostly occurred during the Middle and Late Pleistocene. For the age of metals a synthetic but organic knowledge of the protohistory of northern Italy will be provided, emphasizing the connections with the central and northern European areas and the Italic and Mediterranean world.
Prerequisites and basic notions
The student must:
1. have a good knowledge and command of the language of instruction (Italian) or possibly English
2.have acquired in the previous school cycles a method of study that enables him/her to take notes, effectively summarise what has been studied in the textbooks and adequately present any further study.
Bibliography
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The first part of the interview, in which the student presents an in-depth study of his/her choice, will be evaluated 10/30; the questions in the second part will be evaluated 20/30. Actual participation in the workshops and in the proposed visits and experiences, if the student is attending, and the ability to reason about them, will be a significantly positive element in the assessment.
