ANME 102 - Reed in Greece: The Topography and Archaeology of Ancient Greece

This course will center on visits to some of the most important sites of ancient Greece, including Athens, Sparta, Olympia, Mycenae, and Delphi - along with their museums. During the tour, students will develop an understanding of Greek topography, political geography, material culture, and the work that civic spaces performed in the formation of Greek social, political, economic, and cultural structures. Our visit will encompass a variety of civic spaces, including sanctuaries, cemeteries, citadels, theaters, marketplaces, and stadia. During the second half of the fall semester and the first half of the spring semester, students will be required to attend several mandatory class meetings (with readings), conduct research on a chosen site/monument, and prepare a site guide for their fellow students to use on-site.
