This course combines archaeological, anthropological and art historical approaches to art. The programme allows you to study a wide range of material, from prehistory to the present, and also equips you to study diverse cultures and societies. In combination with general introductions to archaeology, anthropology and material culture studies, you will be given the opportunity to develop your own interests in particular areas. You might be interested in exploring pre-Columbian architecture in the Andes, or learning about Buddhist and Hindu temple architecture in India. If you would rather focus on ritual and performance, then it will be possible to learn how objects displayed in European museums were originally used in shamanistic performances or divination rituals in Native Amazonia or African societies.
