CLASSART 21Q: Eight Great Archaeological Sites in Europe

Preference to sophomores. Focus is on excavation, features and finds, arguments over interpretation, and the place of each site in understanding the archaeological history of Europe. Goal is to introduce the latest archaeological and anthropological thought, and raise key questions about ancient society. The archaeological perspective foregrounds interdisciplinary study: geophysics articulated with art history, source criticism with analytic modeling, statistics interpretation. A web site with resources about each site, including plans, photographs, video, and publications, is the basis for exploring.

CLASSART 112: Ancient Urbanism (CLASSART 212)

Greek, Roman and early Islamic urbanisms are connected in important and revealing ways, though these three are not usually studied together. All three took shape in the same part of the world, the Mediterranean and western Asia. They emerged in succession, with the earlier cities and ideas still very much part of the landscape: Greek urbanism shaped Roman cities, many of which then became Islamic cities, with major features still intact and thriving. These three urbanisms were also very different, ranging from the ideals of the polis in ancient Greece, to the spread of cities all over the Roman Empire, to shared urban patterns in farflung parts of the Islamic world. nnOur goals in this course are 1) to learn about Greek, Roman and Islamic cities, primarily through archaeological evidence; including what cities looked like in each society and why, and what it was like to live in them; 2) to compare and contrast urban components in each society, and understand why these cities were similar or different; 3) to analyze continuity and change (sometimes in the very same city) from Greek to Roman to Islamic-and reaching into the ongoing lives and changing roles of these archaeological sites and historical cities in the modern world. To do all this, we will focus on a few key themes, including different ways of organizing cities, and the roles of religion, politics and gender in shaping cities and urban experience. We'll examine houses, neighborhoods, street plans, commercial spaces and central gathering places, and we'll look closely at the built remains of particular cities: Athens, Olynthos, Rome, Pompeii, Cairo, Baghdad, and others. How were Greek, Roman and Islamic urbanisms the same? How were they different? Why did they take that shape, and with what outcomes for the people who lived in them?
