ANTH-Anthropology

Description:

This course introduces the Prehistory through Bronze Age in Greece, the Aegean, and Anatolia (i.e., Ancient Turkey), covering the archaeology, art, architecture, religion, and history of this dynamic region. It examines the magnificent Minoan palace states on Crete, featuring Knossos, the Greek mainland, including Mycenae, and the neighbouring cultures of Ancient Turkey, from Catal Huyuk to the Hittite empire. The coverage culminates in the Trojan War, illuminated by Homer's Illiad and archaeology, which forms only part of a vast maritime and overland dispersal of Sea Peoples and refugees throughout the entire Mediterranean.
