ARCG 208 Archaeology of Greece

An introduction to the archaeology of Greece from prehistory to the modern day, delivered on-site in Athens, Ancient Corinth, and other villages. Students will encounter the long histories of the Greek landscape from the perspectives and experiences of varied readings, travel, ethnography, and fieldwork. We will explore the question how archaeology contributes to the craft of modern history and produces often conflicting interpretations of the past by increasingly diverse national, ethnic, and religious communities. The course includes collaborative archaeological research of modern, medieval, and ancient sites and landscapes as well as a final digital public humanities project.
