Prehistory

The course aims to provide a grounding in chronological and territorial structure of the European Neolithic cultures, especially of Northern Italy, in their ideological and socio-economical systems, in their building and settlement handicrafts, as well as in their self-representation on a cultural and funerary basis.

By the end of the course, students will be able to understand the historical-archaeological evolution of the European Neolithic cultures, especially of Northern Italy, in socio-economical and ideological terms, with special reference to funerary and cultic evidence.
