Course Syllabus

This is most recent syllabus. Your final syllabus will be given during your first day of class

Notes:

  • This course was formerly ARCL 340.
  • This course is cross-listed with CLAS 325.
  • This is one of two mandatory courses for the TRASIMENO ARCHAEOLOGY FIELD SCHOOL

Course Description
Archaeology is the study of past civilizations through their material remains. This archaeological material includes anything left behind by ancient people, from buildings to coins. Most of these objects were not left behind on purpose, but rather were thrown away, lost, or abandoned as a result of the natural course of life or due to natural or man-made change. Archeological remains have to be interpreted; the real challenge of archaeological research is to “tell a story” from these objects.

ArchDiscoveries_7288The course provides insight into theories and methods in archaeological research, data collection, and analysis. The objective is to familiarize you with the strategies employed in the investigation of archaeological records. The theoretical section aims to approach the discipline from different points of view. We will focus on the history of Archaeology in Italy, its origins and development, and the theories and methods of classical archaeology. Next, you will learn about a variety of Etruscan and Roman sites as case studies. The course includes visits to local archaeological museums and other sites of interest.

In accordance to Umbra Institute’s philosophy, one of the Trasimeno Archaeology Field School goals is to create a stronger and more productive bond with the local community. For this reason, part of the course will be spent in building long-term cooperation with all actors who are interested in the recovery and development of the archaeological heritage of the region.Cover Image
