During prehistory and the early modern period, Man was born into a collective community, but during ones life-time other social patterns developed and new human relations emerged. Cultural- and ethnic identity, hierarchies, gender identities, family structures and social networks were formed in daily praxis. All these identities were included in the social interplay that connected individuals and groups. This course gives deeper knowledge about how social identities can be studied through archaeology, texts and iconography. A central aim is to interpret and analyze human ways to categorize, identify and compare oneself with others in prehistoric and early historic societies. Identities is often in the eye of the beholder. In this course, you learn to understand the social organization of pre-modern Man through the eyes of the archaeologist by using material culture from all times.
