FROM CHAVÍN, NASCA, AND MOCHE TO THE INCAS: AN IN-DEPTH JOURNEY INTO ANCIENT PERU(to be held in-person and online, Monday start is 11:00, Tuesday-Friday start is 10:00)
Course Director: Dr Cecilia Pardo (British Museum)
This is a 5-day course to be held in person at UCL AND live-streamed, and will also be available on video recording afterwards.
This course will explore the unique cultures that once flourished in the central Andean region — one of the six cradles of civilisation — from 1500 BCE until the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the mid-16th century. Through dynamic and richly-illustrated lectures, you will explore the natural world and lifeways of the indigenous peoples of ancient Peru. Through museum objects and other archaeological evidence, you will learn how these societies managed to thrive in one of the most challenging and complex environments on the planet. From the mountains and highlands, to the river basins and coastal plains, this course will highlight the history, beliefs, and cultural practices of the different peoples who lived in these remarkable landscapes, and the importance of their legacy up until today. A particular highlight will be the opportunity to learn first-hand about working behind-the-scenes in museum contexts. Cecilia will share with you her experiences curating pre-Columbian exhibitions through interactive sessions and a guided visit to the British Museum.
