Technology--humanity's efforts to manipulate its physical environment--stands as a central concern of the modern world. This course examines the technology of the ancient world and investigates its integral relationship to other facets of human activity. Theories of technological change will be explored initially in order to develop a socially-informed understanding of technology. In the second part, students will investigate specific ancient technologies using archaeological and textual evidence and present their findings to the class. The goal of this course is to understand technology as a social phenomenon in both the ancient and modern worlds.

This course is designed to introduce the study of paleoclimatology broadly, and is based on investigating local deposits that span a broad range of geologic time. We will perform research projects on topics of local interest, which may include: analyzing fossils in 450 million year old rock, scrutinizing reported Cretaceous dinosaur gizzard-stones, researching post-Ice Age climate change using cave or lake deposits, and using dendrochronology (tree rings) and seismic surveys to study disruption of the prairie-big woods landscape by European settlers. Participants should be prepared for outdoor laboratories and one Saturday field trip.

Prerequisite: Not open to students who have taken another Geology 100-level course.

Mary Savina, William North

Earthquakes are complex and fascinating geological events, and they have profound effects on human societies. In this course, we will explore the changing understanding of earthquakes and their geological mechanisms from antiquity to the present, as well as the ways in which societies respond to and prepare for life in seismically active zones of the world. Case studies will form an important element of the course. There is a required lab, and students will also be expected to spend two additional hours per week in a structured research setting.

Prerequisite: 100 level Geology course or prior History course
