In-depth overview of South American archaeology from the first inhabitants until Inca times. The course focuses on the best-known areas (Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru) but also covers neighbouring countries (Argentina, Chile, Venezuelma, Brazil,…). The course includes cultures, chronologies and artistic styles, but also current archaeological and anthropological research questions (social complexity, ancestral relationships, economic organization, etc.).
