No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1992–93 to 1993–94 (before that, 1975–76 to 1978–79 used the number for Cultures of West Africa); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Myths about the past which are current in modern society are examined in the light of archaeological evidence. Typical topics to be covered would include Viking remains in North America, the Nazca lines, Megalithic observatories and Peruvian voyagers in the Pacific.
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1993–94 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
