| Subject Overview: | The course concentrates on mainland Greece in the Early Iron Age and the Archaic period (ca. 1100-ca. 500 BC), examining what we know about the archaeology of this period and what developments there have been over the last decade. The main emphasis will be on economic and social affairs, as well as material culture. The emergence of the polis system from small villages will be explored; and the role of religious practices and temples. There is much emphasis in modern scholarship on ethnicity, colonisation, migration and acculturation. These concepts are especially important for the study of the Archaic period, which differs greatly from the succeeding Classical period that has given us the splendid monuments of the Athenian Acropolis. |
