Course Description:
This course introduces students to the archaeology of Carthage and places the ancient city within its historical and cultural contexts. It interprets archaeology in its broadest sense, from briefly describing some of the mechanics of archaeology to considering how archaeological research impacts our understanding of the past and creates our images of the past.
No background knowledge of archaeology is necessary, but familiarity with Roman and/or Greek history and culture is required. The prerequisite for this course is CLAS 1000 or 100H, CLAS 1010 or 1010H or CLAS / ANTH 2000 or permission of the instructor.

Aeneid, 1540.
"From the beginning, Africa was inhabvited by the Gaetulian Africans, harsh and uncivilized men who, like animals, ate raw flesh and the natural produce of the earth. They were not ruled by customs or laws, nor were they subject to the rule of any man; wandering, moving, they made their homes wherever nightfall happened to find them." Sallust, Bel. Jug. 18.1-2.
""The chief of all cities of that land, and in a way mother of them all, the eternal rival of Rome's citadel, of old in arms & courage, afterwards in splendor & dignity. It is Carthage of which I speak, the greatest rival of the city of Rome, and a sort of Rome in the African world." Salvian, de Gub. 7.16.
"If someone was to go to Carthage every day of his life and occupy himself only with looking at it, each day he would find a new marbel that he had not seen before." El Bekri, 11th century CE
