This course provides an intensive, critical survey of Classical Archaeology from the Bronze Age through Late Antiquity, with an emphasis on historiography, theory, and archaeological practice. Rather than offering an encyclopedic overview, the seminar foregrounds key debates, methodological approaches, and interpretive frameworks that have shaped—and continue to shape—the archaeology of the Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman worlds. Particular attention is given to non-urban contexts, landscape archaeology, and the materiality of empire.
