CLAS 442* - Archaeology of the Prehistoric Aegean

Survey of the archaeology and art of the Aegean from the earliest human presence to the end of the Mycenaean civilization (ca. 3000000 - 1050 BCE). Highlights include Early Cycladic civilization with its abstract, almost “modern” art, the rise and decline of Minoan and Mycenaean complex societies, the wall paintings of Thera (the “Pompeii” of the Bronze Age), and Troy. Emphasis on anthropological and art-historical approaches. This course requires some short writing exercises as well as a 5-8 page research paper.
