Institution:

Stetson University

Subject:

Description:

Apart from historical records, how do we learn about ancient civilizations? Archeology, the study of the material remains of cultures, represents one such method. Classical archaeologists, i.e., archaeologists who study Greek and Roman civilizations, have at their disposal a vast amount of material, including the physical remains of cities, their art, and even food. In this course, we will study the art and archaeology of the Classical world, beginning with the Neolithic and continuing through the early imperial period. Highlighted in the course will be sanctuary architecture, pottery, sculpture, wall painting, and the remains of Pompeii.
