Special Topic: Global Heritage

Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for ANTHRO 252.

Description

Globally, archaeological features and historic monuments are increasingly threatened by urban development, looting, antiquities trafficking, and effects of climate change. Using an archaeological perspective, we examine state-of-the-art recording technologies, community partnerships, legislation, management systems, and the role of museums in conservation and exhibition. Case studies from Aotearoa, Pacific and elsewhere illustrate major issues, contradictions, and controversies, alongside effective heritage management.
