CLASS 1610 - GREEK ARCHAEOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course introduces students to the archaeologist's task of bringing lost societies back to light through the study of their physical remains and material culture. By examining ancient Greek art, architecture, inscriptions, burials, coins, and the many everyday objects that survive from antiquity, archaeologists are able to shine light on details of Greek society that are often totally inaccessible from the surviving literary and historiographical record. The course begins with an examination of the archaeology of the bronze age, and presents a survey of the archaic, classical, and Hellenistic periods, as well as a history of the archaeological discipline itself from the nineteenth century to today.
