| Objective:
This course examines the relation between archaeology and
textual sources in Classical antiquity. In the first part of
the course we will examine the study of written records and material
remains in the context of several regional archaeological traditions
in the Old World (e.g. Egypt, Middle East). In the second part we will
focus on the Classical tradition. Classical archaeology is one of the
best examples of text aided archaeology. Both archaeological and
textual sources will be used to understand aspects of daily life,
e.g. economy and trade, gender, ethnic identity, religion, political
organization etc. |
Required Books:
Whitley, James, The Archaeology of Ancient Greece, ISBN: 0-521-62733-8, Cambridge UP, 2001, (REQ);

Stiebing, William, Uncovering the Past: A History of Archaeology, ISBN: 9780195089219, Oxford, 1994. (OPTIONAL). |
| Method of Instruction: The class
will include lecture, discussion and student projects. The lectures will provide an
outline of the social history of the Classical world, as a frame of reference for
subsequent class discussion. We will become familiar with some of the primary written
sources (in translation) and the ever expanding archaeological evidence. Classroom
discussion will be an integral part of the course. In order to facilitate discussion
we will select particular topics that supplement the lectures to be researched by students.
The results of these student projects will be presented orally in class. |
| Assignments: Two exams, oral
presentation, and a paper. |

Each exam counts for 25% of the grade, oral presentation 20%, and paper 30%. |

| PREQ: Latin 101 or some high school Latin (see instructor if you have only high school Latin and are interested in this course). |
| The Use of Latin for Today's Student: For fifteen hundred years or more the Latin language was the life-blood of the intellectual development of western Europe. Subjects as diverse as history, government, law, rhetoric, literature, philosophy, religion, medicine, physics, astronomy and mathematics were written about, talked about and thought about in Latin. For people of that time, not to know Latin was to be largely cut off from the life of the mind. Likewise, for students of today, to lack all knowledge of Latin language and culture is to remain forever intellectually "childish"; enjoying the fruits and suffering the consequences of our intellectual heritage without even recognition or acknowledgment, not to mention insight and understanding. |
| In addition to its place as an invaluable key to the story of intellectual development in the West, knowledge of Latin may help to unlock for the student much of the modern world as well. In a vast swath across our planet, from the southern tip of South America to the coast of the Black Sea, the languages spoken are essentially Neo-Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and Catalan are all directly descended from Latin. Much of the grammar, morphology, vocabulary and syntax are readily transparent to those who have studied Latin. A good Latin student can, without any further formal training, learn to read these languages with facility. |
| Description of Material Being Covered: This course is a continuation of Latin 101. In this class the student will continue to learn the grammar of the adjective and noun. All indicative forms of the verb will also be learned. |
