The goal of this proseminar is to engage students in their own professional development, be it either towards traditional academic career or some other applied career. There are two key components to this course: individual projects and group projects of their own choosing. Individual projects center on technical development (such as the use of PowerPoint and graphics programs), and the development of other professional skills. This includes practical skills such as creating resumes, applying for employment, writing statements of purpose for graduate school or some other professional organization, writing abstracts for professional meetings and writing grant applications. Group projects vary with the interest of class members, but can include attending professional meetings, presenting group papers and organizing departmental or university events. This might include organizing speakers and international visits.

Students will be introduced to archaeological research, focusing on Classical Antiquity. The recovering of ancient monuments and artifacts by excavation is only one archaeological method to get information on the past. We will learn about radar surveys, aerial reconnaissance and underwater archaeology. The interpretation of stratigraphy and dating methods based on natural sciences (as C14, endrochronology, thermoluminescence), on historical data or on stylistic evidence jointly contribute to establish a chronology. Apart from fieldwork, the question remains what to do with the regained facts: We will see the changing interests of the discipline by an overview of the history of archaeology, from the first scientific excavations in the 18th century to new approaches in the last years. Finally, the presentation to the public (restoration, museums) and problems as illegal digging and trading will be discussed.
