Welcome to the web site for CLAS 4010/6010: Archaic Greece. This web site is designed to serve as a basic reference tool for students enrolled in this course; it is not meant to serve as a substitute for class attendance, participation and homework.

Course Description:

This course will examine how the small communities scattered throughout the Greek-speaking world developed from the low level of organization and impoverished material culture that characterize them in the ninth century BCE, to the communities that laid the foundations of the culture and political organization of the western world of the fifth and fourth centuries. Special emphasis is placed on developments in art, literature, history and politics and on the phenomenon of Greek colonization. It will also introduce you to many of the practices and methods of the modern archaeologist. No background knowledge of archaeology is required, but familiarity with Greek history and culture (especially of the 8th - 4th centuries BCE) is essential. The prerequisite for this course is CLAS 1000, CLAS 1020 or CLAS(ANTH) 2000. If you have not taken any of these prerequisite courses, you should not take this class.
