Details

Classical Archaeology deals with the material remnants of Greek and Roman culture in the Mediterranean area from the Cretian – Mycanian Era (2 nd millenium B.C.) to late Antiquity (4 th/5 th century A.D.). The questions are predominantly historical, especially the history of art and culture, as well as socio-historical will be covered. Classical Archaeology is mainly concerned with the same eras as Ancient History and Classical Philology, whose sources and insights it uses, augments, and visualizes in order to study the material remnants of antiquity. The Mediterranean area provides the geographical frame for the work of Classical Archaeology, although Greece, Italy and western Turkey form the focal points of research activities. The other adjoining states of the Mediterranean are also of interest in so far as they were under the influence of Greek or Roman culture at some time. This is particularly the case with the former provinces of the Roman empire, especially Spain, Gaul, Germany, Britain, North Africa, Egypt and parts of the near East.

Lectures, seminars, practical courses, and excursions serve to achieve the above-mentioned study aims. The academic course will follow the usual pattern; students are expected to pursue intensive private studies during the entire course. Students will get an introduction to practical tasks in internships which take place during the semester break in in-house and non-resident research projects, at Offices for the Protection of Historical Monuments or museums. Digs and excursions also serve this purpose.
