      In this course we will examine the material evidence relevant to our understanding of classical Greek culture and society from the Mycenaean Empire to the time of Alexander the Great (13th-4th centuries BC). We will study both the magnificent (temples, sculpture, athletic monuments, ships) and the mundane (domestic architecture, pottery, coinage, inscriptions, burials). Archaeological evidence will be considered in light of contemporaneous historical sources.
      The course has no prerequisites. In addition to providing a conspectus of a high civilization of the Old World, it should be of particular interest to students of classics, history, architecture and art history.
