CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
(Cross-listed as ARCH 27 and FAH 19.) 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, and 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.

GREECE,ROME & CHINA
(Cross-listed as HIST 105). Exploration of both the surprisingly strong
parallels and equally telling differences between the ancient civilizations
of the Mediterranean-Greece and Rome- and ancient China, producing,
in the long run, two quite different cultural and political legacies that
have continued to shape the societies of Europe and East Asia into our
times. Emphasis on early periods (Shang and Zhou China,
Mycenaean, Archaic and Classical Greece) of political fragmentation
and frequent warfare that were enormously productive culturally, indeed
led to the formation of fundamental belief systems, social values, and
literary and artistic genres; and on the undeniably strong parallels
between the Han Chinese and Roman Empires, two imperial centers,
roughly contemporary in time, that (essentially independently)
discovered many similar solutions to the problems of governing vast
and diverse territories. Close attention to ancient sources in translation,
such as the Chinese Book of Odes, the Analects of Confucius, Sima
Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, Greek Lyric Poetry, the Socratic
