Professor: John M. Marston
Class Meetings: MWF 10:00-10:50, Rhode Island Hall 108
The crossroads between East and West in the ancient Mediterranean, Anatolia (modern Turkey) gave rise to the great Hittite Empire, the legendary kings Croesus and Midas, and was the scene of battles between Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks for world supremacy. In this course, we survey the archaeological history of human settlement in Anatolia from the Ice Age to the Middle Ages, tracing changes in art, economy, landscape, and religion.
We will explore more than 12,000 years of human occupation of Anatolia through a combination of lectures, discussion, and hands-on activities with real artifacts from the ancient world!
Enrollment Restrictions: Any student may enroll; no courses are prerequisites. This is an introductory course that will fulfill basic requirements for the concentration in Archaeology and the Ancient World.
