Many of the “facts” of daily life in the contemporary industrialized world, such as long life spans and low mortality rates, are recent developments; they do not characterize the human experience for most of our species’ existence. This course will use the tools of archeology to investigate demography, health, and disease in the ancient world, including the broad historical consequences that changes in these factors created.
