Classical Archaeology (Bachelor)

Über diesen Studiengang

Classical Archaeology is the study of the material remains of ancient Greek and Roman cultures, as well as of their predecessors, the influence of these cultures on future civilisation, and of the other cultures that surrounded them. The bandwidth of material remains ranges from articles used in everyday life to structures in the settlements to artefacts and drawings. It thereby encompasses all areas in which culture is visible. The term “archaeology” means “the study of ancient things”, which points to the common fundamental objective of all forms of archaeology: a focus on the material remains of ancient cultures. This involves interpreting these artefacts in their historical context so as to gain better insight into the particular culture being examined. Since the material remains of individual societies diverge greatly from one another, as do their histories, languages, and social structures, a number of different archaeological disciplines have evolved. Classical Archaeology focusses primarily on the so-called “classical antiquity”, which includes the entire spectrum of material remains from the Greek and Roman cultures. The Classical Archaeology programme includes studies of such areas as: Settlements and environment, Buildings and graves, including their furnishings, Objects from everyday life and from religious cults, Sculpture. Since the eighteenth century, the study of ancient art history has been a core component of Classical Archaeology. More recently, there has been increasing focus on the study of daily life and the social environment as well as on cultural-historical phenomena and questions. Studying classical antiquity merely from an archaeological perspective would lead to a very incomplete picture. Therefore, close collaboration with related disciplines and familiarity with their approaches is essential. This makes collaborative course offerings as well as interdisciplinary research projects critical elements of this degree programme. The degree programme is modular and is divided into a number of different topics. Previous subject knowledge is not required: the Basic Module provides both an introduction and a thematic overview of the subject, giving students their first glimpse into basic methodology. The subsequent Introductory Module consists of one module devoted to Greek archaeology and one module devoted to Roman archaeology. These modules will consist of the discussion of relevant groups of objects or on basic archaeological or methodological research findings.
