CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
(Cross-listed as FAH 19 and CLS 27.) The great sites and monuments
of the ancient Mediterranean from preclassical times to the fall of the
Roman Empire; their discovery and interpretation; their place in the
reconstruction of the social, political, and artistic history of their time.
Topics include the excavation and analysis of materials from Troy,
Bronze Age Crete, and Mycenae; the archaeological evidence of the
rise of Greece, particularly Athens, in the first half of the first millennium
B.C.; the misunderstood contribution of Hellenism in art, literature, and
civilization; the Etruscan phenomenon; the essentially Roman qualities
of the first four centuries of the Christian era; and the archaeological
and documentary evidence for the transition from paganism to
Christianity. Some attention to the disciplines of epigraphy and
numismatics, as well as to the peripheral island civilizations of Malta,
Sardinia, and Cyprus.
