CLAR 3630 - Aegean Bronze Age Archaeology
The Aegean civilizations of Mycenaean Greece and Minoan Crete were discovered only since 1870, and were the first to be analyzed and interpreted solely from archaeological remains. Explores the material evidence to trace the development of these complex Bronze Age cultures in the Aegean, while studying the early excavators starting with Schliemann and Evans. Reviews different types of material remains, and the different, often conflicting strategies used to collect and interpret them. Focuses on the development of Aegean civilizations from the appearance of the first agricultural communities in the Neolithic period (6000 B.C.) to the widespread destruction and subsequent economic decline at the end of the Bronze Age (1100 B.C.).
