CLST 6 Introduction to Classical Archaeology

This course addresses the basic methods and principles of Classical archaeology through a survey of the sites and artifacts of Greco-Roman antiquity. Approaches useful for the interpretation of material evidence and the problems inherent in such interpretation will be explored. Through the study of major sites in chronological sequence, students will survey the development of material culture in the Mediterranean world from prehistory to the collapse of the Roman Empire. The course thus serves as an introduction both to Greek and Roman civilization and to the goals of the discipline of archaeology. Open to all classes.
