Aims:

The course in Pre- and protohistoric archaeology of West Asia is meant to provide knowledge on the main processes of transformation of prehistoric and protohistoric societies in Western Asia (domestication, origin of hierarchies, origin of state and urbanization), on their contexts and material expressions (12000-3000 BCE). This knowledge is finalised at providing students with useful tools for working in management, exhibition and dissemination projects related to finds and archives relating to West Asian contexts that are held in Italy (museums, collections, archives) and for the management and evaluation of transnational development projects in collaboration with ministerial or research bodies of West Asian countries.

Course organization:

Case studies will be investigated and presented and students shall be asked to present projects related with research, exhibition, diffusion and conservation of archaeological heritage from west Asian prehistoric and protohistoric contexts.
