Archaeology

Through
study of literary evidence and monumental remains, the Classical
Archaeology curriculum explores various phases of Greek and Roman
civilization, especially developments in architecture, sculpture,
painting, pottery, and coinage. The large collection of photographs
and slides maintained by the Department of History of Art and
the antiquities in the Kelsey
Museum of Ancient and Medieval Archaeology provide abundant
supplementary materials for the various courses.
